2011 Map of Dana Ranch

About this map

Adel serves as a lone reference point in this stretch of Cascade County, where the landscape is primarily organized around established ranching operations. Large holdings such as Dana Ranch, Thompson Ranch, and Staunton Ranch define the land use, scattered among a complex drainage system that feeds into Hound Creek and West Fork Hound Creek. The topography is marked by distinct landmarks including the prominent Castle Rock and Turtle Butte, alongside various coulees and flats like Wade Coulee and Wosinek Flats. Small seasonal waterways like Fourteen Creek and Too-nah-hin Creek carve through the terrain, suggesting a high-desert environment where water management and grazing rights dictated the placement of these early-21st-century homesteads and ranch boundaries.
