2014 Map of Brothers SW

About this map

Pine Ridge dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a significant elevation rise above the surrounding High Desert terrain. The area is defined by its intermittent hydrology, most notably the seasonal course of Dry River, which cuts through the northern sections of the map. Human modification of this arid environment is evident in the presence of infrastructure such as Houston Reservoir Number Two and Houston Reservoir Number Three near the northern boundary. Transportation routes are the primary connectors across this open country, with the intersection of Us-20 and the S Crooked River Hwy serving as the central transit axis. Spanning the border of Crook and Deschutes counties, the map captures a section of Oregon where the township and range system dictates the parceling of the land into distinct geometric blocks.
