1962 Map of Crow Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake Columbia dominates the northern landscape of this Columbia River survey, where the river serves as a natural boundary between Klickitat and Benton counties in Washington and Morrow County in Oregon. The prominence of Crow Butte and the surrounding Crow Butte State Park highlights the distinct geography of this bend in the river, while the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge preserves the riparian environment. This area is a significant transportation corridor, featuring the Burlington Northern railroad running along the northern bank and the Union Pacific tracks to the south. Further inland, the presence of the Boardman Flight Strip and the edge of the Boardman Bombing Range indicates the region's mid-century military and aviation utility. The irrigation infrastructure, including the West Extension Irrigation Canal, suggests the transition of this arid landscape into productive territory through managed water systems.
