About this map

The Deschutes River serves as the central artery for this portion of the Deschutes National Forest, winding northward through a landscape shaped by the Newberry Volcano. This 2014 survey captures the distinct transition from the resort community of Sunriver in the south to the more primitive river canyon. The river is marked by a series of dramatic water features, including Benham Falls, Dillon Falls, and Lava Island Falls, illustrating the descent from the volcanic plateau.

Modern development is concentrated at the Sunriver Airport and the surrounding residential network of Sunriver, while the northern reaches remain defined by open space and natural landmarks. Geographic features such as Ryan Ranch Meadow and Seventh Mountain provide context for the local topography. Important transportation corridors like the Cascade Lakes Hwy and Century Dr provide access to the river corridor and the many Forest Service roads that network the surrounding forest.
