1988 Map of Dixie Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Grant County, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a concentration of historic mining claims. The drainage basins of Dixie Creek and Wickup Creek are dotted with numerous workings, including the Dixie Meadows Mine, Keystone Mine, and the Standard Mine. These sites indicate a legacy of hard-rock extraction along the steep flanks of Cougar Ridge and near the prominent Dixie Butte. The map details a complex network of gulches and canyons, such as Ella Gulch and Slaughterhouse Gulch, that provided the topographical framework for resource development in the late twentieth century. This survey records the remote logging and mining access routes that crisscross the forest, providing a clear picture of the industrial footprint within the protected wilderness before more recent environmental changes.
