1972 Map of Castle Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates the high-elevation terrain of eastern Oregon, where the headwaters of the John Day River cut through the landscape. This 1970s record shows the prominence of mineral extraction and livestock management in the region, centered around features like the Prairie Diggings and a remote Mine located south of Red Hill. The map's detail provides a look at the historical water distribution system necessary for this environment, marking numerous specific locations such as Cottonwood Spring, Jones Spring, and Johnson Springs. Significant drainage systems including Indian Creek, Castle Creek, and Deep Creek are meticulously charted, alongside landmarks like Butch Foster Saddle and a documented Corral. This survey reflects the intersection of federal forest management and local resource use at the time.
