About this map

The waters of the Lower Crow Reservoir and the Pablo Reservoir National Wildlife Refuge anchor this mid-1960s landscape in Lake County. The terrain is defined by the prominent Valley Hills in the northwest and distinctive landmarks such as Round Butte and the Sloan Buttes. A complex network of irrigation, including the Pablo Canal, winds through the countryside, supporting the agricultural character of the region.

Evidence of local industry and transport is found along the Northern Pacific rail line that skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Significant watercourses like Mud Creek and Crow Creek converge near the reservoir, while smaller features like Sloan Lake and West Miller Coulee reveal the natural drainage patterns of the valley. Local extraction is noted at a Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet, providing a specific site for industrial history researchers.
