About this map

Ashwood serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in central Oregon, where narrow gulches and seasonal drainages define the settlement patterns. This area of Jefferson County is marked by a legacy of ranching and early orchards, visible in features like Clarke Orchard and the Woods Cem north of the main townsite. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainages such as Trout Cr and Wilson Cr, which flow between prominent basaltic formations like Hat Rock and Sand Mtn.

The maps indicates a reliance on scattered water sources in this arid environment, naming numerous springs such as Lee Woods Spring, Wright Spring, and Clarke Springs. High-altitude landmarks like Blizzard Ridge and Sampson Mtn overlook the winding canyons of Devils Canyon and Rutter Canyon. In the southwest corner, the Little Willow Cr Reservoir provides a critical collection point for the drainage network of Teller Cr.
