1964 Map of Shutler Flat

About this map

The Oregon Trail winds across the northern expanse of this 1964 Gilliam County survey, marking a historic corridor through the high plateau country. This transit heritage is reinforced by the presence of the Weatherford Historical Mon and the Union Pacific railroad, which parallels the trail as it cuts through the Alkali Canyon. The agricultural landscape is defined by the broad Shutler Flat, where infrastructure like the Well Grain Elevator and various Storage Bins near the settlement of Roddy point to a mid-century economy centered on grain production and transport.
