1954 Map of Harl Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in northeastern Oregon, where dramatic elevation changes are marked by Harl Butte and the surrounding high ridges. The Imnaha Road traces the river valley, serving as the primary corridor for the scattered mountain settlements of the era. The mapping reveals a transition in rural education and community life, specifically noting two discontinued local institutions: Freezeout Sch (Aband) and The Park School (Aband). Near the Imnaha River, the College Creek Ranger Station and the Imnaha Grange mark centers of administrative and social activity for the timber and ranching families of the high country. To the west, the expansive Marr Flat and the waters of Dead Horse Lake sit among a series of named landforms, including Clear Lake Ridge and Dead Horse Ridge, which define the drainage patterns for Lightning Creek and Little Sheep Creek.
