1987 Map of Degner Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The county line between Wasco Co and Jefferson Co bisects this landscape of drainages and high plateaus, where the terrain transitions from The Flatirons in the west toward the deep incisions of Degner Canyon and Blind Canyon. Water is the primary architect here, with Antelope Creek, Trout Creek, and Pony Creek cutting through the volcanic topography. Local industry and land management are evident in the numerous Storage Bins, scattered Quarry sites, and the naming of Timber Culture Gulch, which likely references early federal reforestation efforts. Genealogists will note the Maupin Cem located near Little Trout Creek, a quiet marker of early settlement in this high desert environment. The presence of features like Paulina Butte and Paulina Basin suggests a complex geomorphology, while several Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit locations indicate ongoing resource extraction as late as the 1980s.
