1967 Map of Graveyard Point

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Graveyard Point rises as a prominent landmark along the boundary of Malheur and Owyhee counties, where the high desert terrain of eastern Oregon meets the Idaho state line. This late 1960s landscape is defined by the management of water and livestock, evidenced by the intricate network of the Canal, Aqueduct, and several Siphons that traverse the arid ground. The presence of the Graveyard Point Historical Marker suggests the early importance of this location for travelers and settlers moving through the Succor Creek drainage. To the west, the rugged draws are punctuated by small water catchments such as North Alkali Draw Reservoir and Buck Gulch Reservoir, while a Diversion Dam on Alkali Creek directs flow toward the local irrigation system. The map also captures several rural thoroughfares, including Market Road and Sunset Lane, which served the agricultural holdings at the edge of the sagebrush basins.
