1950 Map of Jamieson

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The agricultural development of Malheur County is clearly visible in the complex irrigation systems of the Vale Main Canal and Owyhee Canal, which transformed the arid Hope Flat landscape during the mid-century. The Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line railroads provide the primary industrial spine of the region, connecting small trackside communities like Jamieson and Dennis. Local life centers around the Willow Creek drainage, where the settlement of Lancaster served as a postal hub for nearby ranchers. Genealogy researchers may find interest in the location of the Bully Creek School and family-named landmarks such as McCarthy Spring or Berman Spring. The terrain transitions from the irrigated flats toward higher ground at Sugarloaf Butte and the dry, carved pathways of Dry Gulch and Alkali Gulch, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this high-desert environment.
