1965 Map of Railroad Point

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Thousand Creek Ranch and Bog Hot Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in the mid-1960s, located just south of the Oregon Nevada border. The map detail highlights an arid economy dependent on scattered water sources, including the geothermal Bog Hot Springs and numerous improvements like Gilliotti Well and Bog Hot Res. This area, part of the Charles Sheldon Antelope Range, is dominated by significant landforms such as McGee Mountain and the steep cuts of Thousand Creek Gorge. Evidence of local industry appears at the Painted Hills Mine, while the remote nature of the terrain is underscored by the presence of a lone Landing Strip and specialized routes like the Thousand Creek Grade (Jeep). Water remains the central theme, with drainages like Alder Creek and Sagebrush Creek defining the valley floors.
