1988 Map of Dry Prairie

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-country landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a terrain shaped by volcanic geography and the critical management of water. The map detail highlights an extensive network of springs and small ponds used for livestock and forest management, such as Seven Springs, Miner Pond, and Dry Prairie No 1 Pond. These water sources are scattered across varied flats and depressions, including Yellow Jacket Flat and Willow Flat. High points like James Butte and Paddock Butte provide topographic relief, while human activity is evidenced by Murray Field and several resource extraction sites including a Quarry and a Cinder Pit. The presence of man-made features like O'Connor Reservoir and a Corral suggests a landscape defined by seasonal grazing and remote forest operations within the Gearhart Mountain region.
