1972 Map of Palomino Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Palomino Hills dominate this portion of Malheur County, where the high desert landscape is defined by its water management systems and resource extraction. The 1970s terrain is marked by a network of catchments including Palomino Creek Reservoir, Two Day Reservoir, and Ridge End Reservoir, reflecting the vital importance of seasonal water storage in the Big Basin region. The mapping reveals a sparse infrastructure consisting largely of a Jeep Trail and various industrial excavations. Numerous Borrow Pits, Gravel Pits, and unnamed Prospects are scattered along the drainage of Palomino Creek, indicating an era of active land use and geological surveying. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Drought Creek winds through the hills, illustrating the arid character of this remote Oregon interior.
