1955 Map of Bend

About this map

The Warm Springs Indian Reservation occupies the northern reaches of this central Oregon landscape, where the Deschutes River and Crooked River converge at Lake Billy Chinook. This mid-century survey captures the region's complex water management and timber economy, evidenced by the Ochoco Reservoir and numerous lumber mills. To the west, the volcanic skyline is dominated by the Three Sisters—comprising North Sister, Middle Sister, and South Sister—alongside Mt Jefferson and Mt Washington.
