1967 Map of The Elbow

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lake Owyhee dominates the high desert landscape of Malheur County in the mid-1960s, its winding waters filling the deep canyons of the Owyhee River. This survey captures the reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 2,655 feet, showcasing the dramatic topography where the water meets the steep slopes of Burnt Mountain and Iron Mountain. On the northeastern shore, Lake Owyhee State Park and the V W McCormack Area serve as focal points for recreation, complete with a lakeside Resort. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages such as Deer Creek, Cherry Creek, and Rookie Canyon Creek feeding into the main body of water. Named landmarks like Nannys Nipple and the distinctive bend known as The Elbow provide essential navigational points for those exploring this arid, elevated terrain.
