1970 Map of Macken Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Buck Hollow and the surrounding drainage network of north-central Oregon dominate this landscape along the border of Wasco and Sherman Counties. The map documents a transition in rural infrastructure during the early 1970s, where an Old Railroad Grade winds through the southern terrain, reflecting the area's historical reliance on rail for transporting agricultural yields. A solitary Grain Elevator stands near the southwestern edge, marking a vital point of commerce for the local wheat-growing region. Numerous water sources, including Macken Springs, Kelsey Spring, and Taylor Springs, are mapped alongside named topographical features like the curiously named Wampus Cat Canyon. These springs served as critical landmarks for both cattle ranching and early travel, often connected by the network of tracks such as the Kibby Trail.
