1980 Map of Rome State Airport

About this map

Rome State Airport stands as the primary infrastructure landmark in this high desert landscape of Malheur County. This 1980 edition, based on field checks from the mid-1970s, reveals a terrain defined more by its elevation contours than by human settlement. The presence of a Jeep Trail winding through the southeastern sections and a solitary Borrow Pit near the eastern boundary suggests a region focused on utility and basic transport links rather than residential development. This map serves as a clear record of the area's arid character and sparse industrial footprint during the late twentieth century.
