1962 Map of Eagle Butte

About this map

Warm Springs Indian Reservation lands dominate this early 1960s landscape, where the confluence of the Deschutes River and Warm Springs River creates a distinct natural and cultural boundary. The map illustrates a period of local development on the Agency Plains, evidenced by organized drives like Columbia Drive and Adams Drive and the emerging community of Agency. Nearby, industrial and recreational footprints are visible at the Lumber Mill and Kahneeta Hot Springs. Traces of older infrastructure persist along the river corridors, including the Old MC Railroad Grade and the Old RR Grade near Mecca. Higher elevations are marked by significant landmarks like Eagle Butte, which features a lookout, and Tee Wees Butte, while the Dry Creek Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this corner of Jefferson County.
