About this map

Gray Butte serves as the dominant landmark of this central Oregon landscape, a region defined by high-desert hydrology and federal land management. In the early 1960s, the Crooked River National Grassland was established here, with this map documenting the Crooked River National Grassland Field Headquarters and a network of springs essential for ranching and wildlife, including Rodman Spring, Lithgow Spring, and Kings Gap Spring.

The presence of the Lone Pine Sch and the nearby Gray Butte Cem provides a focal point for genealogists interested in the local homesteading history of Jefferson County. Infrastructure for water and transport is clearly marked, from the Lone Pine Canal and its associated Flume to the Pilot Butte Road. Natural drainage patterns are recorded through features like Skull Hollow and Japanese Creek, alongside evidence of local industry at the Cinder Pit.
