1962 Map of Powell Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The settlement of Powell Butte anchors the northern boundary of this high-desert landscape in central Oregon, sitting just below the high peaks of the Powell Buttes. The geography here is defined by the contrast between irrigation and natural aridity, evidenced by the Central Oregon Canal cutting through a terrain marked by the seasonal Dry River. At the time of this 1962 field check, the community center of the area is highlighted by the Community Hall, while the surrounding basin shows the influence of early ranching and water management with features like Shumway Lake and various Springs. The road network, including the Powell Butte Highway and Shumway Road, illustrates the late mid-century settlement pattern along the border of Deschutes and Crook Counties.
