1981 Map of Dust Bowl

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Street Flat and Misery Flat characterize this high-desert region of Central Oregon, where the harsh environmental reality is reflected in the local place names. Recorded in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the map reveals a landscape defined by water scarcity and cattle ranching at the intersection of Crook, Deschutes, and Harney counties. Isolated resources such as the Buck Creek Ranch and the Dust Bowl Well highlight the sparse human presence in this area.
