1951 Map of Long Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The town of Long Creek serves as a central hub in this high-desert mountain landscape of the early 1950s, where the economy was clearly defined by timber and mineral extraction. Wood processing is anchored by the Fox Mill and Waterbury Mill, while the southern reaches of the Malheur National Forest show signs of prospecting at the Cohoe Mine and Black Butte Mine. The rugged topography is punctuated by critical forest management infrastructure, including the Black Butte Lookout and the Raddue Guard Sta. Remote community life is evidenced by the Round Basin School to the northwest and small settlements like Fox and Beech Creek. A complex drainage network, featuring Wiley Creek and the East Fork, carves through the forest, connecting high-elevation landmarks like Belshaw Meadows to the valley floors.
