About this map

The Sunriver resort community and the Deschutes National Forest dominate this landscape along the upper corridor of the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River. The map illustrates a high-desert environment shaped by volcanic activity, featuring the northern reaches of the Newberry Volcano and the rugged Lava Island. The river's path is marked by significant hydrological features, including the eponymous Benham Falls and various riparian zones such as Ryan Ranch Meadow.

Outdoor recreation and modern infrastructure define the area's contemporary character. A complex network of multi-use trails, such as Storm King, Tiddlywinks, and Ticket To Ride, crisscrosses the forest, while the Sunriver Airport serves the planned community. Natural springs like Kiwa Springs and Coyote Spring emerge from the volcanic terrain, feeding the ecosystem within the township and the surrounding national forest lands.
