1960 Map of Crane
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Malheur Lake and the surrounding marshlands of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge dominate this high-desert basin in the early 1960s. The settlement of Crane serves as a local hub, situated where the Union Pacific railroad passes near the base of Crane Butte. The map details a landscape defined by volcanic landforms like Warm Springs Butte and Black Butte, alongside critical water features such as Ninemile Slough and various Hot Springs. To the south, New Princeton and its local airstrip mark a secondary point of activity. The geography reveals the importance of the Malheur Gap and Crane Creek Gap for transit through the rimrock and ridges that partition the Harney Basin floor from the rising heights of the Willow Basin.
