About this map

Ashwood serves as the primary focal point of this Jefferson County landscape, situated near the confluence of Trout Cr and Prineville Gulch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named springs, such as Wright Spring, Lee Woods Spring, and Clarke Springs, which historically supported the isolated ranching and orchard operations in the area. Evidence of early settlement and land use is visible at Clarke Orchard and the Woods Cem near Woods Hollow.

Canyons and ridges dominate the topography, with distinctive landmarks like Little Devils Canyon, Indian Arrows, and Windy Gap providing orientation across the high desert environment. The map details the winding path of Ashwood Rd and Haycreek Rd, which navigate the complex elevations between Sampson Mtn and the northern gulches. This survey captures a rural Oregon community where the placement of water sources and narrow canyons dictated the location of homesteads and transport routes.
