1966 Map of Ring

About this map

Northern Pacific tracks cut through the steep northeast corner of this 1966 survey, following the rugged drainage of Vansycle Canyon. This high-plateau landscape along the Washington and Oregon border is defined by a network of deep-cut drainages, most notably the North Fork and South Fork Juniper Canyon. The sparse settlement pattern is characteristic of mid-century dryland farming and ranching, evidenced by scattered infrastructure like isolated Storage Bins and a remote Landing Strip. A singular Grave located near the South Fork suggests the area's deep-rooted pioneer history, while the presence of the Deer Trail near the northern county line highlights the traditional transit routes across these breaks.
