About this map

The agricultural valleys of north-central Oregon define this region, where the town of Dufur sits along the western edge of a landscape carved by drainages like Fifteenmile Creek and Starveout Creek. This survey captures a rural network of ridge roads and deep draws, including Stubb Hollow, Shotgun Hollow, and Long Hollow, which dictate the movement of local travel. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific community anchors such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery near the former rail path and the Nansene Community Hall to the south.

Smaller settlements and named locales like Boyd, Starveout, and Nansene appear as scattered nodes connected by long-established routes such as Ward Mill Rd and Long Hollow Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by seasonal waterways, including Dry Creek and Mays Canyon Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have shaped the dry-land farming and ranching boundaries in Wasco County for generations.
