1968 Map of Well Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Oregon Trail and Immigrant Road markings highlight the enduring historical significance of this high desert terrain in Morrow County. As documented in the late 1960s, the landscape is defined by the Boardman Naval Bombing Range, which encompasses a large portion of the northern quadrangle. This military designation sits atop a geography of Sand Dunes and dramatic geological features like Juniper Canyon. Water sources were critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the clustered locations of Well Spring, Flowing Well, and Tub Spring. Near the primary spring, a small Cem (cemetery) serves as a poignant reminder of the early travelers and settlers who utilized these routes. The map illustrates a crossroads of transit history and modern defense, where mid-century military boundaries overlap with the tracks of 19th-century westward expansion.
