About this map

Cricket Flat defines the high plateau of this eastern Oregon landscape in the mid-1960s, where the rural community is anchored by the Cricket Flat Grange Hall. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Minam Summit down into the depths of Rysdam Canyon. The mapping reveals a pastoral and forest-service infrastructure, with numerous springs and wells providing water for the upland terrain.

Genealogists will find valuable local markers such as Highland Cemetery and the Pine Grove Cemetery near the Pine Grove Church. The drainage system is dominated by the forks of Clark Creek, including the North Fork Clark Creek and Middle Fork Clark Creek, which carve through the timbered slopes of Stubblefield Mountain. These features, along with the Base Line survey boundary, illustrate the intersection of early land management and the natural watershed of the Blue Mountain region.
