About this map

Lincton Mountain and Basket Mountain dominate this landscape within the Blue Mountains, showing the complex drainage systems of the Oregon backcountry in the mid-1960s. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Umatilla Indian Reservation Bdy, where the terrain transitions toward Wildhorse Mountain and the headwaters of Wildhorse Creek. Local history is captured in family-named geographic features such as Keseberg Canyon, Scott Canyon, and Hodgson Canyon, reflecting the early ranching and homesteading footprints in Umatilla County.

Transportation and utility infrastructure are represented by the Basket Mountain Road and a solitary Radio Facility located near Big Saddle. The presence of a small Cem and the named locality of Waldo provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestors in this high-elevation region. Water sources like Couse Creek and Reed and Hawley Creek carve deep paths through the timbered uplands, illustrating the vital role of these streams in the local ecosystem and economy.
