1977 Map of Salmon Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Salmon Falls Dam serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape, creating the sprawling Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir that dominates the western portion of the terrain. The reservoir's indented shoreline features numerous named inlets such as Antelope Bay, Trout Bay, and Perch Bay, while the elevated ridge of Browns Bench rises to the west. East of the water, the topography is defined by the Union Pacific rail line and a network of irrigation laterals and ranch roads, reflecting the region's agricultural dependency. Evidence of early land use is scattered across the sheet, from the isolated Point Ranch to the specialized Gaging Station and various wells. The map documents a specific balance of infrastructure and natural landmarks, including the prominent Salmon Butte and the sheer Marble Cliff overlooking the water, alongside small commercial or navigational points like Greys Landing.
