1962 Map of Powell Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Powell Buttes dominate the western landscape of this mid-century survey, rising sharply above the high desert floor where the Deschutes Co Crook Co line marks the boundary of local jurisdictions. The map records a transition in land use, showing the established irrigation systems of the Central Oregon Canal and several private ranching holdings like Red Cloud Ranch and Stearns Ranch. The eastern half of the quadrangle is defined by the Crooked River as it winds through canyons toward the Prineville Reservoir. This area is characterized by scattered springs and volcanic landforms, including Hat Rock and Horse Butte, while the infrastructure of the era is represented by Radio Facilities and a network of jeep trails and roads like Horrell Road.
