About this map

Dufur and the small community of Boyd serve as the primary anchors of this high-desert agricultural and canyon landscape in eastern Wasco County. The settlement pattern follows the essential water sources of Fifteenmile Creek and Pine Creek, where irrigation and stock water supported the region's ranching and farming operations. The inclusion of the IOOF Cem and the High Sch at Dufur highlights the area's established civic life during the early 1960s.

Deeply etched drainages such as Stubb Hollow and Long Hollow define the terrain, leading toward the Nansene Community Hall in the south. The mapping of infrastructure like the Center Ridge Road and various Jeep Trails provides a clear record of the transportation network used by locals to navigate the complex system of canyons, including Easton Canyon and Shotgun Canyon. This survey captures a moment when rural centers like the community hall remained vital hubs for the surrounding homesteads.
