1972 Map of Wall Rock Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Juniper Ranch and the West Page Cabin spring sit at the center of this high desert landscape in Malheur County, recorded just as photogrammetric methods from 1971 aerial surveys were standardizing modern topographic detail. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features, including Shaeffer Butte Reservoir, Fectley Reservoir, and Sometime Reservoir, illustrating the critical importance of water storage for livestock in this arid region. Named landmarks like Knottingham Butte and the Owyhee Breaks provide significant elevation changes, while numerous water sources such as Wall Rock Springs and Mineral Springs dot the drainage basins of Wall Rock Creek and Juniper Creek. A lone Prospect near Quartz Mtn suggests early mineral interest, though the primary character of the land remains centered on ranching infrastructure and remote springs like Black Bull Springs.
