1988 Map of Mitchell
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The town of Mitchell serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in central Oregon, situated along the banks of Bridge Creek. This 1980s survey illustrates a rural community supported by a mix of public lands and ranching infrastructure, including the Ochoco National Forest and the Bridge Creek Wilderness. Significant local landmarks include the Mitchell Reservoir and the Dollarhide Pond, which are critical water sources in this arid environment. The map details various industrial and service sites such as a Landing Strip, a Sanitary Disposal Site, and several Gravel Pits, alongside prominent terrain features like Sargent Butte and Juniper Butte. For those researching family history, the Cem near the town center and named locations like Meyers and Nelson provide important localized context for 20th-century land use and settlement patterns.
