1963 Map of Meacham Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Meacham and Kamela anchor this high-elevation study of the Blue Mountains, showing the complex interaction between timber land, transportation, and federal oversight in the early 1960s. The Union Pacific Railroad winds through the canyons alongside the Umatilla National Forest, following the steep grades of the Blue Mountain crossing. This survey documents significant infrastructure of the era, including a U S Weather Bureau Station, an Airway Beacon, and the Tip Top Lookout Tower, highlighting the area's role in regional monitoring and aviation safety. The landscape is also marked by deeper histories, such as the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and isolated markers like a Grave near Beaver Creek, providing specific touchpoints for local historians and genealogists tracing early settlement patterns in the Umatilla and Union County borderlands.
