1970 Map of Mikkalo

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mikkalo sits as a primary rail point along the Union Pacific line in this 1970 survey of Gilliam County. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Juniper Canyon and French Charlie Canyon, where the rugged plateau drops away toward the water of Rock Creek. The regional economy of the early 1970s is etched into the map through industrial and agricultural markers, including the Grain Elevator at Mikkalo and several Grain Elevators near Clem. Small settlements like Olex and Speece are connected by a network of unimproved roads and specialized infrastructure like the Reed Landing Strip. Genealogists will find the locations of the Olex Cem and Clem Cem particularly useful for identifying family sites in this sparsely populated portion of the Oregon high country.
