1967 Map of Twin Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lake Owyhee reaches into the eastern edge of this desert landscape, its waters filling the narrow basalt-lined canyons of Malheur County during the late 1960s. The region is defined by a sparse network of vital water sources, including Lower Burnt Spring, Twin Springs, and Dead Horse Spring, which served as critical landmarks for ranchers and travelers moving through the arid high desert. The topography is dominated by massive volcanic features like Sourdough Mtn and the Dry Creek Buttes, while low-lying areas like Sand Hollow and Sourdough Basin provide a stark contrast to the surrounding peaks. A solitary jeep trail and the path over Hammond Hill represent the minimal human infrastructure, connecting these remote springs and reservoirs like Dry Creek Buttes Reservoir across a landscape primarily shaped by erosion and drainage through Freezeout Creek and Dry Creek.
