1984 Map of Locust Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Locust Butte rises above a high desert landscape defined by the intersection of Butte Valley and Alkali Valley. This 1984 provisional survey illustrates the sparse, working nature of the Lake and Harney county borderlands, where the infrastructure of cattle ranching and modern industry meet. Notable landmarks like Toms Bedground and family-named water sources such as Toms Waterhole and Wolter Lake suggest a long history of seasonal livestock movement. The presence of the Chem Nuclear facility and a major Transmission Line cutting across the flats highlights the region's mid-century transition toward industrial utility. Travel is oriented around the Wagontire Road, which navigates a terrain of Sand Dunes, Ryegrass flats, and the deep incision of Venator Canyon.
