Eagle Rock Oregon Ochoco NF USGS Topo Map 1973 Vintage

$34

This is a USGS 15-minute topographic map of the Eagle Rock quadrangle in central Oregon, a 1946 edition based on that year’s field survey and printed in 1973. The quad sits in Crook County about 35 miles east of Bend, covering roughly 12 by 17 miles of high desert country that takes in part of the Ochoco National Forest. Never folded and in excellent condition, the sheet is clean enough to frame, and the 50-foot contours trace the dry ridges and drainages of the Ochoco uplands at a scale that still rewards close reading.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Eagle Rock 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1946. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
