About this map

The Bend cityscape is defined by the high desert topography of central Oregon, where the city center is bracketed by prominent volcanic landmarks like Pilot Butte and Awbrey Butte. The Deschutes River flows north through the heart of the district, widening at Mirror Pond and winding past the SW Industrial Way corridor. To the west, the landscape transitions into the Deschutes National Forest, while residential expansion is evident in newer developments like Tetherow and the outlying Deschutes River Woods.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several major interment sites, including Greenwood Cem and the Deschutes Memorial Gardens. The map also details the region's aviation and irrigation infrastructure, from the small Gopher Gulch Airport to the Bend-Feed Canal that cuts across the western slopes. Diverse street names, from NE Butler Market Rd to Skyliners Rd, document the city's growth and its connection to the surrounding wilderness.
