1967 Map of French Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Burnt River carves a deep path through the canyonlands of eastern Oregon in this late-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by its verticality and water resources, as dozens of named springs such as Salt Spring No 1 and Tule Spring dot the drainages within the Whitman National Forest. The presence of a Gaging Station and Bennett Reservoir underscores the importance of water management in this arid mountain environment. Prospecting history is etched into the terrain near the river, where scattered Mines and Prospects suggest a legacy of mineral exploration. From the high elevations of Chicken Peak and Stump Spring Butte down to the Bridgeport Valley, the map details a network of jeep trails and canyons like Dark Canyon and Dead Horse Canyon, revealing a working landscape of timber, cattle, and ore.
