1948 Map of Eagle Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Crooked River carves a winding path through this 1948 topographic study of central Oregon, serving as the primary lifeline for a series of remote homesteads and ranching operations. The landscape is defined by its rugged isolation, where name-bearing landmarks like Way Ranch, Carey Ranch, and Klaus Ranch are scattered along the riverbanks and through the surrounding basins. This era reveals a high-desert ranching economy reliant on scattered water sources such as Colby Spring and Sanford Spring, with the Bailey Sch standing as a vital communal node for the families living between Windy Point and the Ochoconational Forest. The southern portion of the map transitions into the higher elevations of the Maury Mountains, where the drainage patterns of Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek illustrate the challenging geography faced by early settlers at sites like the Cofelt Ranch and Nye Ranch.
