1964 Map of Weston Mountain

About this map

Weston Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Blue Mountains dominate this mid-1960s landscape in Umatilla County. The northern edge of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Bdy cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, where Wildhorse Creek flows through the canyon floor below Wildhorse Mountain. The survey captures the intricate drainage system of the area, featuring named canyons such as Scott Canyon, Big Rayborn Canyon, and Hodgson Canyon. Settlement is sparse, represented by the small locale of Waldo and a lone Cem situated on a high ridge. High-altitude landmarks like Big Saddle and Lincton Mountain define the topography, while a Radio Facility on Basket Mountain indicates the era's modern communication infrastructure. The map is a detailed record of the steep breaks and timbered ridges that define this part of the Oregon backcountry before extensive modern development.
