1968 Map of Sage Hen Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sage Hen Butte dominates this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, standing as a prominent landmark within the Fremont National Forest. This 1968 field-checked survey reveals a remote cattle-grazing and seasonal-living environment, marked by isolated structures such as Thompson Cabin, Wakefield Cabin, and the Schadler Cow Camp. The map documents a complex hydrological network including Parsnip Creek and Crane Creek, which feed into ephemeral water bodies like Crane Lake and the significant basin of Big Lake in the southeast. Cultural features are sparse but telling of the era's land use, showing a network of jeep trails connecting remote outposts and water sources. Researchers will find interest in the specific locations of a Borrow Pit and various prospect points, alongside established landmarks like Sage Hen Crossing.
