1967 Map of Jackass Butte NE

About this map

The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western portion of this 1967 landscape, showcasing the complex water management of the High Desert. The Donner und Blitzen River and Blitzen River wind through the valley, regulated by structures like Dunn Dam and Busse Dam. This map captures a unique intersection of conservation and volcanic geology, notably where the expansive Diamond Craters Lava flows into the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Human infrastructure is primarily oriented around the refuge, with the Patrol Road and Busse Road providing access to remote outposts like Stubblefield. Notable landmarks such as Rattlesnake Butte and various water tanks provide essential orientation points in this high-elevation terrain, while a small Gravel Pit and a remote Landing Strip indicate the area's practical land use during the late 1960s.
