About this map

Dalreed Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape, marking the boundary between Gilliam and Morrow counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Willow Creek, which flows through the southern half of the map alongside Ewing Rd. Irrigation and water management are evident in the presence of the Ewing Ditch and its proximity to Schoolhouse Canyon, suggesting the importance of these water sources to local ranching or agricultural operations in this arid region.

Transportation is facilitated by a network of local roads and lanes, including Threemile Rd, Tower Rd, and Immigrant Ln. These routes weave through the open country, connecting isolated points across the township and range lines. The map documents the enduring rural character of this part of Eastern Oregon, where natural features like the butte and seasonal creeks dictate the layout of property lines and access roads.
