2023 Map of Degner Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Paulina Butte rises above a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainage systems along the border of WasCO and Jefferson counties. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Paulina Basin, where landforms like Sheep Rock and Degner Canyon dominate the terrain. The presence of named water sources such as Kinsey Springs, Degner Spring, and Cottonwood Spring suggests the vital importance of water rights and ranching infrastructure in this arid high-desert environment. For genealogists, the Maupin Cem near Little Trout Creek provides a tangible link to early families who established themselves in the region. The map also traces historical travel routes like Tub Springs Rd and NE Wilson Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the gulches and hollows, including the curiously named Timber Culture Gulch.
