1969 Map of Jordan Craters North

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The volcanic landscape of southeastern Oregon is sharply defined here by the expansive fields of Lava that comprise the Jordan Craters. This late-1960s survey illustrates a rugged terrain where modern geology meets high-desert water management, centered on the prominent Coffeepot Crater. The western edge of the map is dominated by the deeply carved path of the Owyhee River, which features a Gaging Station and evidence of early livestock infrastructure near Birch Springs. A network of catchment points across the arid uplands, including Blue Canyon Reservoir, Glover Reservoir, and Blowout Reservoir, suggests the area's importance for cattle ranching. The presence of numerous Jeep Trails winding through features like The Tongue and along Birch Creek provides a clear view of the routes used to navigate this geologically active corner of Malheur County.
