1965 Map of Glass Hill

About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where high ridgelines and steep drainages define the timbered terrain south of La Grande. The area is marked by working land and remote outposts, including the Reinecke Cabin and Vincent Ranch, which signal the local history of ranching and forest management. High points like Tamarack Mountain and the prominent Glass Hill summit—complete with its Lookout Tower—provide vantage points over the complex system of creeks including Beaver Creek and Ladd Creek. In the northeast corner, the Ladd Marsh Game Management Area indicates the transition from the high Summit Spring Ridge toward the valley floor. Transportation is limited to rugged routes like Glass Hill Road and Ladd Lane, alongside a major Pipeline corridor cutting through the northern foothills.
