About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep, winding path through this central Oregon landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor for the settlement of Dant. This area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, where the river's course is flanked by the rising slopes of the Mutton Mountains to the south. The terrain is heavily dissected by numerous canyons and draws, including Stag Canyon, Devil Canyon, and Middle Canyon, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the river basin.

Water sources are vital in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Jones Springs and Williams Springs. Transport is tied closely to the topography, with Deschutes River Rd following the western bank, providing access to the river's edge near Eagle Cr and Lousey Hollow. The map also details early land divisions through numerous Protracted Block (PB) designations such as PB 37 and PB 38, reflecting the complex history of land surveying in this portion of Wasco County.
