1962 Map of Postage Stamp Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Kingsley stands as a quiet focus of agricultural life on this high plateau, surrounded by the wheat lands and drainage systems of the eastern Cascades foothills. The landscape is defined by the massive divide of Tygh Ridge, rising to the Tygh Ridge Summit and dropping sharply into deep incisions like Butler Canyon. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain descends toward the Tygh Valley, where the Tygh Valley Fairgrounds and the Highline Ditch reflect the importance of communal gathering and irrigation in this arid environment. Conservation efforts are evident in the White River State Game Management Area, which encompasses the distinctive Postage Stamp Butte. A network of watercourses including Tygh Creek and Badger Creek carve through the basalt layers, while the Kingsley Cem remains a primary site for genealogical study in the region.
