Agricultural and irrigation patterns dominate this high desert landscape on the edge of Madras. The map illustrates the complex interplay of water management and land use within the high-altitude terrain of Central Oregon. A dense network of lateral canals, siphons, and irrigation ditches crisscrosses the sectioned farmland, highlighting the infrastructure required to support the local economy. To the west, the transition into managed public lands becomes evident, providing a clear visual record of the boundary between private agricultural plots and the protected natural environment as it was managed in the early 1990s.
