1967 Map of Owens Butte

About this map

Owens Butte rises above a landscape defined by the deep drainage networks of the Umatilla National Forest in northeastern Oregon. This 1967 survey, with revisions from the early 1980s, highlights the essential role of water and forest management in this remote region. The confluence of Camas Creek and Lane Creek serves as a focal point for activity, hosting the Lane Creek Campground and a downstream Gaging Station. A Quarry and numerous segments of Jeep Trail indicate the industrial and recreational access points through the timberland. The map's detailed topography reveals the steep draws of Hideaway and the winding courses of Owens Creek and Cable Creek, providing a clear view of the forest's hydrological structure before more modern developments altered these backcountry corridors.
