1963 Map of Finley Butte

About this map

The Little Deschutes River meanders along the western edge of this landscape, where the settlement of La Pine serves as a small hub for the surrounding timber and transit corridor. Bisected by the Great Northern railroad and the La Pine Siding, the area shows a clear reliance on rail transport and logging infrastructure within the Deschutes National Forest. Notable landmarks like Finley Butte rise above the terrain, while the broad expanse of Paulina Prairie is defined by the flow of Paulina Creek. Researchers will find local history preserved at the Improved Order of Redmen Cemetery and another smaller Cem near Prairie Campground. The presence of several Gravel Pit and Cinder Pit locations alongside the Pipeline suggests an era of active resource extraction and infrastructure development during the early 1960s.
