1968 Map of Gurdane

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Gurdane sits at the edge of a deep canyon system in southern Umatilla County, marking a remote settlement point defined by its proximity to the headwaters of Gurdane Creek. The landscape transitions from the open plateau of Darr Flats in the north to a series of intricately carved drainages like Monahan Canyon and Buckhorn Canyon. This 1968 field-checked survey highlights the precarious nature of early travel and ranching in the region, noting isolated landmarks such as the Pedro Ranch Airstrip and a single Grave located near Webb Slough. Much of the area's movement follows the natural contours of the East Fork Butter Creek and its various tributaries, including Ely Creek and Cates Creek. Local history is anchored at the Gurdane Cem, while small-scale resource extraction is evidenced by a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit near the prominent ridge of Cape Horn.
