1972 Map of Mc Ewen Butte

About this map

Luce Hot Springs and the Malheur River anchor this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, where the Union Pacific line follows the river's winding course. This area of eastern Oregon is defined by remote homesteads and ranching outposts, including the McRae Homestead, Spurlock Ranch, and McEwen Ranch. The terrain is marked by significant geothermal activity and water management, evidenced by Mud Spring and the McEwen Reservoir. High points like Buck Mountain and McEwen Butte oversee a network of jeep trails and historic paths that connect these isolated water sources and range lands. The map also records the boundary between Harney and Malheur Counties, illustrating the administrative divisions in this sparsely populated region during the early 1970s.
