1962 Map of Dant

About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep, winding course through this canyon landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad. Small river-side points like Nena, Dixon, and the settlement of Dant punctuate the rail line, while a Cable Crossing further north indicates the historical methods used to traverse this steep terrain. To the south, the Warm Springs Indian Reservation Boundary follows a complex series of surveyed markers, including the (Handley Line 1871) and an Old Boundary Line, highlighting the area's jurisdictional evolution. The southern reach of the sheet rises into the Mutton Mountains, where numerous seasonal drainages like Eagle Creek and Lomax Hollow Creek flow toward the river valley. The map also traces a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed springs, connecting isolated points such as Two Springs Ranch to the rugged highlands of the Devil Canyon and Middle Canyon.
