1962 Map of Postage Stamp Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Kingsley and the surrounding Wasco County uplands are defined by a complex network of drainages and ridges as they appeared in the early 1960s. The landscape is dominated by the massive Tygh Ridge, which peaks at Tygh Ridge Summit and drops away into deep-cut features like Butler Canyon. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain levels into the Tygh Valley, where the Tygh Valley Fairgrounds and the Highline Ditch indicate an established agricultural and community hub. Settlement patterns here are sparse but significant for genealogy, featuring the Kingsley Cem and another un-named Cem further north. This period captures the rural infrastructure of the Pacific Northwest before significant modernization, evidenced by the numerous named watercourses like Badger Creek and Tygh Creek that carve through the high plateaus and provide the lifeblood for this isolated ranching and farming country.
