1968 Map of Strawberry Canyon NE

About this map

The Oregon Trail cuts across this Morrow County landscape, showing the historic path as it navigated the arid terrain of north-central Oregon in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a region defined by isolation and utility, where significant portions of the land were dedicated to the Boardman Bombing Range. This military presence sits alongside remnants of a ranching economy, indicated by the Blacksmith Shop, Corral, and Sand Ranch located along the eastern edge of Sand Hollow. The topography is dominated by the Finley Buttes and shifting Sand Dunes, punctuated by critical water sources such as Sand Lake and West Well. A prominent Pipeline and a network of Jeep Trails further emphasize the modern industrial and logistical layering over the ancestral wagon route.
