About this map

Akawa Butte and the arid highlands of central Oregon dominate this high-desert landscape in the early twenty-first century. The settlement of Geneva serves as a primary reference point in the northeast, supported by the Geneva Cemetery nearby. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and depressions, including Dry Lake and the deep incisions of Fremont Canyon and Trahan Canyon.

Water management and ranching operations are evident through the presence of the Singing Horse Ranch and Rim Rock Ranch, situated near the winding course of Whychus Creek. A dense grid of forest and access roads, such as SW Grandview Loop Rd and SW Stevens Canyon Rd, crisscrosses the volcanic features and expansive flats like Tai Flat, illustrating the modern infrastructure required to navigate the Lower Desert.
