1957 Map of Sparta

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Gold and copper mining operations define this mid-century look at the high country within Whitman National Forest. The landscape is densely marked by the region’s industrial history, featuring numerous named sites such as the Sanger Mine, Poorman Mine, and Rosebud Mine. These operations are concentrated around prominent peaks like Sparta Butte and Red Knob, where complex topography gives way to deep drainages like Crystal Palace Gulch. In the lower elevations, the Powder River serves as a primary geographic anchor, followed by the Baker-Homestead Highway. The presence of Colvard Station and the Lily White Guard Sta illustrates the infrastructure required to manage these remote timber and mineral resources. Small cemeteries and local landmarks like Pritchard Flat offer specific points of interest for those tracing the settlement patterns of eastern Oregon’s rugged interior.
