About this map

Dry River carves a winding path across this high desert landscape in Deschutes County, defining the drainage patterns of an arid region. The terrain is marked by the distinct ephemeral nature of its water systems, where the river channel stands as a prominent geographic feature despite its seasonal flow. Near the northern boundary, Merrill Rd provides a primary point of access, intersecting the expansive grid of the Dry River basin. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the sparse development of the area, where the vastness of the open range is punctuated only by a handful of established local routes and the natural geometry of the ancient waterway.
