1950 Map of Heppner

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Hat Creek and its complex network of tributaries define the topography of this southern Fall River County landscape, where water management was essential for early ranching and agriculture. The 1950 field check reveals a series of extensive Levee systems constructed along the creek banks, coupled with a notable Spillway near the center of the sheet, reflecting the mid-century efforts of the Missouri River Basin development program. Local life was anchored by remote ranching outposts such as Landers Ranch and small rural education centers including Maitland Sch in the north and Bunker Hill Sch to the east. The terrain is marked by prominent drainage systems like Bitter Creek, Ash Creek, and Long Hollow, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the settlement of Heppner.
