1967 Map of Warner Peak

About this map

Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge dominates this 1960s landscape, showcasing a high-desert environment defined by dramatic elevation changes and seasonal water sources. The prominent ridge of Hart Mountain culminates at Warner Peak, where a Radio Facility sits near the summit. The presence of Old Camp Warner (Site) near Post Meadows provides a physical link to the nineteenth-century military history of the Oregon high desert, while the Blue Sky Hotel Camp suggests the era's emerging recreational use of the refuge. To the east and south, the terrain descends into the expansive Spanish Flat, characterized by intermittent water bodies like Spanish Lake and Thunderbird Lake. Numerous springs and seasonal drainages, including Honey Creek and Guano Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology essential for the namesake antelope and other wildlife in this arid region.
