1967 Map of Plush

About this map

Plush sits at the edge of the expansive Warner Valley in Lake County, serving as a vital outpost in this arid corner of Oregon. This late-1960s survey documents the community's infrastructure, including a Well, several Gravel Pits, and a Landing Strip, reflecting the practical requirements of ranching and remote living. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated draws of the west, such as Juniper Draw and Miners Draw, down to the basin floors. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by a Gaging Station on Honey Creek and the presence of Juniper Spring. The map also captures the western boundary of the Hart Mtn. National Antelope Refuge, where the valley meets the shores of Hart Lake and the intermittent Warner Lakes system, highlighting the region's environmental significance.
