1967 Map of Jackass Butte NE

About this map

Diamond Craters and its associated Lava flows dominate the southeastern portion of this landscape, showcasing the volcanic geology of the High Desert. To the west, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge provides a stark hydrological contrast, where the Donner und Blitzen River and the Blitzen River meander through a series of water management structures like Dunn Dam and Busse Dam. This 1967 survey illustrates the complex management of a desert wetland, featuring an extensive Canal system and the Patrol Road following the refuge boundary. High points such as Rattlesnake Butte overlook the basin, while the remote Stubblefield area and an isolated Landing Strip indicate the area's limited but essential infrastructure for conservation and range management.
