1967 Map of Graveyard Point

About this map

Succor Creek winds through this high desert terrain at the state line, illustrating the complex irrigation and water management systems necessary for ranching and agriculture in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Alkali Creek, Buck Gulch, and the South Canal, which move water across the border between Malheur and Owyhee counties. A Graveyard Point Historical Marker stands near the intersection of Graveyard Point Road and the Oregon-Idaho state line, marking a point of local historical significance. Topographic features like the Strode Basin and several reservoirs, such as North Alkali Draw Reservoir and Buck Gulch Reservoir, highlight the reliance on captured runoff. Smaller industrial footprints like a Quarry and Gravel Pit indicate local resource extraction near the Diversion Dam.
