1966 Map of Foster Butte

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts a historic diagonal line across this high-desert landscape in Lake County, Oregon. Located within the Fremont National Forest, the area is defined by volcanic features like Foster Butte and industrial sites including a Cinder Pit and Quarry. This 1960s survey documents a working cattle and forestry range where water sources were critical for survival and commerce. Specialized infrastructure such as the McCall Dipping Vat Spring and Sherlock Dipping Vat Spring indicate the region's ranching heritage, providing locations for livestock treatment. Seasonal water bodies like Foster Lake, Grassy Lake, and Buckaroo Lake dot the terrain, which transitions from the open New England Flat to the more sheltered Foster Meadow.
