1966 Map of Millican SE

About this map

Pine Mountain dominates this high-desert landscape in central Oregon, where the volcanic terrain meets the eastern reaches of the Deschutes National Forest. The map documents a sparsely populated but active range, characterized by the winding course of the Dry River and the expansive Kotzman Basin. Infrastructure on the sheet reflects the practical needs of the mid-20th-century frontier, featuring a Landing Strip and the Radio Facility Antelope perched on high ground. Land use is largely defined by ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by several Corrals and a Borrow Pit. Small water sources such as Whitaker Holes and a solitary Well provide critical markers in an arid environment otherwise defined by its topographic ridges, including the prominent Pine Ridge to the southeast.
