1970 Map of Flag Prairie

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this highland region, where the North Fork Malheur River and the Little Malheur River carve through high plateaus. The 1970 landscape is characterized by a network of seasonal camps and forest infrastructure, such as the Crane Prairie Guard Station and the North Fork Cow Camp. Public recreation and land management are evident through established sites like the Elk Creek Campground and Crane Creek Campground. High points like Knox Mountain and Summit Rock overlook a complex drainage system including Rattlesnake Creek and Crane Creek. The survey reveals a terrain defined by grazing and forestry, noted by open areas like Flag Prairie and the Swale Springs Swale, alongside numerous named springs and livestock enclosures that mark the high-country economy of Eastern Oregon.
