1959 Map of Sawtooth Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Malheur National Forest and Ochoco National Forest converge in this high-elevation Oregon landscape, where the headwaters of the South Fork John Day River and the Malheur River begin their descent. During the late 1950s, this area served as a critical hub for forest management and ranching operations, centered around hubs like the Blue Creek Work Center and the Bear Tree Guard Sta. The map documents a network of high-country ranches, including Rickman Ranch, Carey Ranch, and Buttes Ranch, which operated alongside established landmarks such as the historic Dalles-Military Road. From the heights of Snow Mtn and Whiskey Mtn to the riparian flats of Sawtooth Meadows, the landscape is defined by its numerous named springs and reservoirs, such as Crystal Res and Browns Res, supporting both livestock and timber interests during this era.
