1972 Map of Hurley Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Freezeout Mtn and Sourdough Mtn dominate the northern landscape of this Malheur County survey, overlooking a network of cattle and irrigation infrastructure essential to the high desert. The map reveals an intricate system of water management where seasonal drainage and springs support numerous named reservoirs, such as Washboard Reservoir and the uniquely named Upper Slim and Fatty Res. The terrain is marked by deep geological features like Dry Creek Gorge and the prominent Wall Rock Ridge, which runs along the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation throughout this arid expanse is limited to a network of Jeep Trails that connect remote sites like Cherry Spring and Sheep Corral Reservoir. This 1970s record provides a clear picture of how land was utilized for ranching, highlighting the vital importance of water sources like Freezeout Spring and Hurley Spring in an otherwise parched environment.
