1963 Map of Moffitt Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The high desert and volcanic terrain of central Oregon meet the industrial utility of the early 1960s in this detailed survey. Moffitt Butte dominates the southern landscape, while the Great Northern rail line cuts a straight north-south path through the western half of the territory. This map documents a sparsely settled region where water resources were critical for range and forest management, highlighted by isolated points like Dealys Well. Much of the area falls within the Deschutes National Forest, showing the administrative division between Deschutes Co and Klamath Co. The geography is defined by a mix of forested land and open clearings, with various wells providing essential infrastructure for the interior. These features illustrate the intersection of public land management and the railway economy during a period of transition in the Oregon backcountry.
