1968 Map of Franklin Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Franklin Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of eastern Oregon during the late 1960s. The topography is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the deeply etched Matlock Canyon, Cunningham Canyon, and Dixie Canyon, all of which contribute to the larger watershed of Butter Creek in the northeast. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous mapped springs indicates the localized importance of resource extraction and water management in this arid environment. The map clearly delineates the zigzagging county line separating Morrow County and Umatilla County, following the ridge lines and natural contours. This detailed surveying reveals a quiet, working landscape where topographical names like Hog Hollow and Nelson Canyon reflect the heritage of local land use and ranching history in the region.
