About this map

The National Indian Forest Boundary, established along the historic McQuinn Line, bisects this landscape as it appeared in the late 20th century. This boundary marks the northern edge of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, separating it from the Mount Hood National Forest. The Bear Springs Ranger Station serves as a key administrative landmark in the northeast, situated near the headwaters of Indian Creek.

Water management and resource extraction are evident through features like the Clear Creek Ditch and several named quarries. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Beaver Butte and Rocky Point, while the hydrological network includes the drainage of Beaver Creek and the marshy expanse of Cedar Swamp. The presence of the First Standard Parallel South provides a look at the formal cadastral survey framework that overlays this complex topography of ridges and drainages.
