1990 Map of Silvies

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Malheur National Forest provides the backdrop for this high-elevation landscape where the Silvies River meanders through the expansive Silvies Valley. The 1990 survey captures a specialized ranching and aviation footprint, featuring the Ponderosa Ranch and the Maitland Landing Strip. Numerous family-named landmarks such as Charlie Smith Butte and Soda Smith Spring suggest a history of deep-rooted local land claims and settlement. Water sources are critical in this terrain, as evidenced by the dense concentration of named springs like Funny Bug Basin Spring and Scotty Spring. This map is particularly valuable for researchers tracing the development of the Silvies community and nearby Owens Camp before further modernization, documenting a network of improved roads and trails that connected these isolated outposts.
