1958 Map of Jordan Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Rome and Burns Junction serve as small hubs in this high-desert landscape of Malheur and Owyhee counties during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by volcanic features like lava flows and isolated peaks including War Eagle Mountain and Jackies Butte. Ranching and land management are evident through scattered outposts like the Bowden Ranch and Battle Creek Ranch, while the Oregon Canal and Antelope Reservoir indicate the vital role of water engineering in this arid environment. To the south, the Duck Valley Indian Reservation spans the border between Oregon and Idaho. Unique cold-war era development is seen in the Mountain Home Precision Bombing Range No 1, which occupies a significant portion of the high plateau alongside the Pharmacy Mine and remote schools like Pleasant Valley School.
