1985 Map of Sprague River West

About this map

The Sprague River meanders through a broad valley in southern Oregon, creating a distinct riparian corridor surrounded by the dense timber of the Winema National Forest. This 1980s landscape is defined by its varied topography, featuring volcanic landmarks like Buttes of the Gods, Watchdog Butte, and Eagle Butte that overlook the river plain. The map reveals the functional use of the forest and its fringes, from the gas pipeline and Oregon Pipeline corridors to the gravel and borrow pits that supported local infrastructure.
