1986 Map of Murphy

About this map

The Applegate River defines the central corridor of this mid-1980s landscape, where the settlements of Murphy and New Hope sit at the intersection of river-valley agriculture and high-timber ridges. This era captures the region's long-standing connection to resource extraction, evidenced by several prominent workings in the southern hills. While commercial Gravel Pit operations are found near the river, the deeper terrain is marked by hard-rock sites such as the Oregon Bonanza Mine, the Humdinger Mine, and the Snow Bird Mine. The map reveals a complex drainage network feeding into the Applegate, including Onion Creek and Wildcat Gulch to the north, and Powell Creek and Horsehead Creek to the south. These waterways carve through notable heights like Pennington Mountain and Mungers Butte, where Iron Mountain Road and numerous tracks provide access to remote Mine Shafts and prospect sites.
