1949 Map of Long Creek

About this map

The settlement of Long Creek serves as the northern anchor for this mid-century survey of Grant County, where the landscape is defined by the expansive Malheur National Forest. This era in the Blue Mountains is characterized by an active timber and mining economy, evidenced by the presence of the Waterbury Mill and Fox Mill along the central drainage corridors. Higher elevations are dominated by landmarks such as Black Butte Lookout and the Raddue Guard Sta, which supported forest management and fire observation during this period.
