1967 Map of Diamond Butte

About this map

Lake Owyhee dominates this high-desert landscape of Malheur County, appearing here as a controlled reservoir within the deep canyon of the Owyhee River. The survey captures the mid-century water management of the region, noting areas subject to controlled inundation. Along the rugged eastern shore, the Watson Cem serves as a silent reminder of the communities that existed before the rising waters of the dam. To the south, numerous geothermal and seasonal water sources are documented, including Hot Spring, Red Rock Spring, and Gillespie Spring, which provided essential hydration in this arid environment. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features like Diamond Butte and Red Butte, while a solitary Jeep Trail provides the only evidence of human transit through the remote canyons of Blue Canyon and Red Butte Canyon.
