1953 Map of Kimberly

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Kimberly sits at the confluence of several drainages in this mid-century survey of the Oregon high country, where the landscape is defined by the transition from river valleys to the high plateaus of the Umatilla National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior network of springs and camps essential for range management, such as the Bull Prairie Guard Sta and Blue Spruce Camp. To the north, the terrain rises toward Sunflower Flats and Wilson Prairie, while the southern portion is dominated by prominent landmarks like China Hat Peak and Nigger Knob. Local history is anchored by early settlements and family-named landmarks, including the isolated Haystack Cem and the former post office at Colvin. The presence of the CCC Spr Trail reflects the legacy of public works projects in shaping access to these timberlands and grazing allotments.
