1962 Map of Wamic
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The White River carves a deep, winding canyon through the high plateau of Wasco County, separating the agricultural expanse of Juniper Flat from the forested slopes of the Mt Hood National Forest. In the early 1960s, the settlement of Wamic stands as a vital hub for this upland community, connected to the historical path of the Barlow Road. The landscape is a study in water management, where the Highland Ditch and Threemile Ditch draw from Threemile Creek to sustain the local farms. Genealogists and local historians can locate rural landmarks such as Smock Sch on the edge of Smock Prairie, and the isolated Graveyard Cem near Graveyard Butte. To the south, the village of Wapinitia anchors the southern reaches of the quadrangle where Wapinitia Creek meets the river's rugged drainage system.
