1967 Map of Horse Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Horse Ridge dominates this high desert landscape east of Bend, stretching across a terrain defined by ancient geological formations and arid basin floors. In the late 1960s, this area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by wide geographic features like the Badlands to the north and the expansive Millican Valley to the south. The presence of Dry River and isolated water sources such as Dyer Well and Dry Well highlights the region's reliance on scarce water points for cattle or early homesteading. Traces of human activity are concentrated along the primary roadway and a network of primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail cutting through Golden Basin. Public land management is evident in the western portion of the sheet, which encompasses a section of the Deschutes National Forest, while various Borrow Pits suggest road maintenance and resource extraction near the Horse Ridge Summit.
