1967 Map of Rooster Comb

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lake Owyhee dominates this landscape in Malheur County, appearing here shortly after its creation to reveal the high-water line of its inundation. The reservoir winds through steep topography, passing notable landforms like Doe Island and the distinctive Rooster Comb. Inland from the water, the map documents a terrain defined by isolated springs and seasonal drainages, including Mud Spring and Gin Spring, which were vital water sources for early cattle ranching in the high desert. The presence of Barnes Cabin and various jeep trails suggests a history of remote homesteading and grazing. To the east, canyons like Juniper Gulch and The Yellow Jacket showcase the complex geology near the Idaho border, while prominent peaks such as North Table Mtn and Mahogany Mtn serve as permanent navigational anchors for the surrounding basin.
