1970 Map of Salmon Fork

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Salmon Fork winds through a complex system of drainages along the Gilliam Co and Wheeler Co line in north-central Oregon. This 1970 field check documents a landscape defined by ranching and timber infrastructure, including the Kinzua and Southern rail line and the Kinzua Landing Strip. The presence of the Trail Fork School and scattered Graves suggests a dispersed community of residents tied to the surrounding canyons. Small settlements like Edwards and Stewarts appear alongside recreational and industrial landmarks, such as the Kinzua Golf Course and several labeled Borrow Pit locations. The terrain is marked by distinct geological features like Steamboat Rock, Squaw Butte, and deep-cut ravines including Papersack Canyon and Thirty Mile Canyon. Numerous Springs and Spring points are recorded throughout the uplands, indicating vital water sources for the remote holdings found at the turn of the 1970s.
