2020 Map of Bowman Dam

About this map

Bowman Dam anchors the northern landscape of this Central Oregon quadrangle, holding back the Crooked River to form the sprawling Prineville Reservoir. The eastern edge of the water is defined by Powder House Cove, while the surrounding terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Taylor Butte and Bear Creek Butte. A distinct grid of residential or agricultural lanes north of Bear Creek Butte is named for a variety of trees, including Myrtlewood Ln, Sequoia Ln, and Almond Ln. This systematic naming pattern suggests a planned development or orchard-style division of the high desert land. To the west, Agape Farm Airport provides a small aviation waypoint amidst a network of rural routes like S Reservoir Rd and Cascade Way, while drainage flows through Perry Cr and Williamson Cr toward the south.
