1966 Map of Cabbage Hill

About this map

Umatilla Old Indian Treaty Reservation land dominates this 1966 landscape, where the Blue Mountains transition into the rolling plateau of eastern Oregon. The terrain is marked by steep climbs and high-altitude crossings, most notably the historic ascent over Emigrant Hill and through Deadman Pass. The infrastructure of mid-century travel is evident in the presence of Radio Towers and a remote Landing Strip, while the area's educational history is anchored by the Cabbage Hill Sch. Numerous waterways, including McKay Creek and Patawa Creek, have carved deep drainage patterns such as Hawk Gulch and Doe Canyon. The survey also documents the Boiling Point settlement, situated where the highway winds through the high Cabbage Hill slopes.
