1972 Map of Copeland Reservoirs

About this map

Copeland Place stands as a primary human identifier in this high-desert landscape of southeastern Oregon, where water management is the central theme of the terrain. The 1970s survey reveals a complex network of catchment systems, including the namesake Copeland Reservoirs, East Copeland Res, and Antelope Flat Reservoir No 1, essential for supporting livestock and land use in this arid region. The geography is defined by high plateaus like Antelope Flat and the drainage of Wildcat Creek, which cuts through the volcanic geology of Copeland Butte. Geologists and historians can trace evidence of early mineral exploration at several prospects in the northern hills, while cattlemen relied on scattered infrastructure such as the Mc Kay Well and Slayton Well to sustain operations across the vast Butte country.
