1963 Map of Finley Butte

About this map

Little Deschutes River winds along the western edge of this central Oregon landscape, a region defined by its timbered slopes and clearings. In the early 1960s, the community of La Pine centered around the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, with the La Pine Station and La Pine Siding serving as critical infrastructure for the local economy. The transition from the flat, open expanse of Paulina Prairie to the volcanic prominence of Finley Butte illustrates the diverse topography within the Deschutes National Forest.
