1972 Map of Rastus Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Whitman National Forest and Malheur National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape of eastern Oregon, where mining and resource extraction defined the early development of the region. The upper reaches of the map show established workings such as the Thomason Mine and Schwayder Mine, positioned near the headwaters of Bullrun Creek. This 1970s survey captures a transition in forest management, noting primitive routes like the Bullrun Pack Trail and Koski Pack Trail alongside modern water management features like Long Creek Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by numerous springs and gulches, including Rastus Camp Spring and Skull Gulch Spring, which served as vital water sources for campers and livestock across the rugged peaks of Rastus Mountain and Bullrun Mountain. A complex network of ditches, such as the Johnson Ditch, further illustrates the historical effort to divert water across this drainage-rich environment.
