1969 Map of Chapin Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Umatilla National Forest land defines the eastern and southern portions of this landscape, where the high basalt plateaus of Morrow County meet steep-walled canyons. The topography is marked by distinctive level reaches such as Lava Flat and Camas Prairie, which provide a sharp contrast to the deeply incised drainages of Chapin Creek and Camas Creek. Natural springs are the primary landmarks here, including Hasting Spring, Merrill Spring, and Wild Spring, often indicating essential water sources for the cattle ranching that persists in the area. Evidence of historical land use appears in features like Shingle Mill Butte and the Anson Wright Memorial Park near the northeastern boundary. The map reveals a network of primitive transportation, with a Jeep Trail winding through the northern canyons and a series of named saddles and meadows like Burton Saddle and McDonald Meadow that served as navigational waypoints for early travelers and land managers.
