1990 Map of Buckbrush Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Buckbrush Creek carves through this high desert terrain in Malheur County, where the 1990 landscape is defined by its water management and volcanic geography. The map reveals a network of essential water sources in an arid environment, including Chalk Spring, North Salter Spring, and Bull Spring, alongside man-made improvements such as the Clover Ditch and Soldiers Canyon Reservoir. These features speak to the long-standing ranching and irrigation history of eastern Oregon, where every seep and spring was a vital point of interest. Distinctive landmarks like Little Poison Butte and Big Poison Butte punctuate the horizon, while smaller watercourses like Pancake Creek and Birch Creek feed toward the Bully Creek drainage. Traces of historical exploration are found in localized Prospect markings, indicating the search for mineral resources within the deep cuts of Timber Canyon and Soldiers Canyon.
