1966 Map of Mt. Pisgah

About this map

Mt Pisgah dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Oregon, where the summit is capped by a Lookout Tower overlooking the deep drainage basins of the Ochco National Forest. The map captures a mid-1960s environment defined by water management and forest service infrastructure, featuring several significant water bodies including Yellowjacket Reservoir, Ross Reservoir, and the Allen Creek Res. Local history is reflected in the numerous seasonal camps and outposts such as Wineburger Camp, Scotts Campground, and Carrol Campground, which served as hubs for range management and forestry. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the network of streams like Bridge Creek and Milk Creek that descend from high points like North Point toward Summit Prairie. Numerous springs, including Mud Spring and North Pisgah Spring, indicate the vital water sources utilized by early settlers and foresters across the Wheeler County and Crook County line.
