1999 Map of Silvies

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Silvies River meanders through the broad Silvies Valley in this late 20th-century survey of Grant County. This remote high-desert landscape is defined by ranching and resource management, anchored by the Silvies settlement and the Ponderosa Ranch. Water infrastructure is critical to this environment, evidenced by the extensive West Side Ditch and the Charlie Smith Reservoir situated near Charlie Smith Butte. The map reveals the logistical requirements of such a dispersed community, featuring the Maitland Landing Strip and a remote Cem (cemetery) located south of the main ranch. To the north and west, the terrain rises into the Malheur National Forest, where named landmarks like Funny Bug Basin and Soda Smith Spring provide specific points of reference for foresters and locals alike.
