1990 Map of Log Creek

About this map

Bully Creek and its complex drainage system, including the North Fork and South Fork, define this high-desert landscape in Malheur County. The map documents a sophisticated network of water management essential for ranching, featuring the Log Creek Basin Reservoir, Jordan Reservoir, and Saddle Reservoir. Ranching history is further evidenced by several Corrals and an Abandoned Airstrip near Gregory Gulch, signaling the scale of remote land operations during the late twentieth century. Diverse terrain features like Hay Canyon, Deep Canyon, and Richie Flat break the plateau, while a solitary Cem stands as a marker of the area's early residents. This provisional survey provides a precise look at the infrastructure of the Oregon interior before many such remote sites were modernized or altered.
