1951 Map of Malheur Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Malheur Butte dominates the southern landscape of this 1951 survey, standing as a prominent landmark above the winding Malheur River. The area showcases a sophisticated irrigation network essential for high-desert agriculture, featuring the Owyhee Canal, the Bros Man Ditch, and a series of numbered canyons including Ontario Canyon No 1. These water systems supported rural life at Beacon and the community hubs at Ontario Heights Church and the Ontario Heights Grange. The presence of Ontario Airport and a high-pressure Pipe Line running through Jacobsen Gulch illustrates the mid-century infrastructure developing alongside traditional ranching. Local genealogists may find interest in the scattered residential footprints along Butler Blvd and the northern reaches of Butterfield Springs, mapping the proximity of family homes to the vital levee systems guarding the river plain.
