1966 Map of Foster Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this section of southern Oregon, where the high-desert landscape is defined by its water sources and historical livestock operations. The presence of McCall Dipping Vat Spring and Sherlock Dipping Vat Spring points to a landscape historically utilized by sheep and cattle ranchers for health-related animal management. The map is bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a significant line of demarcation that cuts across New England Flat and the foothills near Foster Butte. Water is localized in small seasonal basins such as Foster Lake, Buckaroo Lake, and Sarah Lake, while industrial activity is represented by a Cinder Pit and Quarry. The terrain shifts from the open expanses of Meadow Flat to the more varied topography of Deer Head, showing the isolated nature of these uplands in the mid-1960s.
