About this map

Akawa Butte dominates the northwestern landscape of this region, which is defined by the high desert interface between the Deschutes National Forest and the Crooked River National Grassland. The settlement of Geneva sits on the eastern plateau, overlooking a complex system of drainages including Trahan Canyon and Carcass Canyon. The terrain transitions from the volcanic prominence of the butte down into the Lower Desert and the winding course of Whychus Cr.

Transport patterns are characterized by a network of forest service and county roads, such as SW Grandview Loop Rd and SW Fly Lake Rd, which navigate around features like Dry Lake and Tai Flat. The southern portion of the map reveals the deep incision of Whychus Creek Canyon as it crosses the boundary between Jefferson and Deschutes counties, illustrating the geological forces that have shaped this Central Oregon plateau.
