1972 Map of Canyon Mtn

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this topographic survey of the Strawberry Range, revealing a landscape shaped by both geological upheaval and human industry in the early 1970s. The central corridor along Canyon Creek shows evidence of heavy resource extraction, notably the Dredge Tailings near Cherry Gulch, while various extraction points like the Iron King Mine and Golden West Mine are scattered across the slopes of Little Canyon Mtn. High-altitude features such as the Eagle Peak Radio Facility and the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness boundary mark the transition into more protected terrain. The presence of Cougar Camp and numerous named springs, including Rattlesnake Spring and Fawn Spring, suggests a region used for seasonal work and mountain transit. This map provides a look at the infrastructure of the forest during this era, from established rest areas to the network of jeep trails and pack trails connecting the Aldrich Mts to the high peaks.
