About this map

Telocaset sits as a central junction along the Union Pacific line in this mid-1960s survey of eastern Oregon's high country. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological engineering of the Powder River, where the Thief Valley Dam holds the Thief Valley Reservoir at the border of Union and Baker counties. This infrastructure supports the agricultural and transit needs of Antelope Valley, a region characterized by numerous water sources such as Foley Spring and Glass Spring.

Evidence of local resource extraction is scattered across the terrain, from a Quarry near the small settlement of Sago to various Mines and Prospects in the hills. The northeastern portion of the map transitions into the protected timberlands of the Whitman National Forest, overlooked by Clark Mountain. The network of jeep trails and bench marks, such as BM 3408 near a railroad Water Tank, provides a detailed look at the rural connectivity and surveying of the era.
