About this map

The agrarian and canyon-cut landscape of Wasco County is defined here by the small community of Dufur and the nearby settlement of Boyd. Positioned along the western edge of the map, Dufur serves as a local hub, while the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem remains a significant local-history landmark nearby. The terrain is deeply grooved by a series of drainages, most notably Fifteenmile Cr, Starveout Cr, and Pine Cr, which have carved out distinct geographic features such as Easton Canyon and Long Hollow.

A dense network of rural roads, including Adkisson Market Rd and Old Tygh Mkt Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and ridges. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, navigating through areas like Shotgun Hollow and Jameson Canyon. The distribution of these roads and named hollows illustrates the specialized geography of the region, where water sources and arable ridges dictated the pattern of local settlement and transport.
