About this map

Agricultural life in Wasco County is centered around the settlements of Boyd and Dufur, situated where the hills break into a series of deep drainages. The landscape is defined by its water-carved topography, including Fifteenmile Creek and Pine Creek, which transition into named canyons and draws like Easton Canyon and Stubb Hollow. A small Cem and the Nansene Community Hall serve as focal points for the rural population, marking the social and family history of the district.

Transportation routes trace the natural contours of the land, from the established path of Starveout to the high ground of Tygh Ridge Road and Summit Ridge. The presence of several Quarry sites and a Gravel Pit suggests the ongoing maintenance of these upland roads, while a Jeep Trail provides access to more isolated sections of Long Hollow. This 1962 survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates the enduring patterns of ranching and grain farming in the Oregon interior.
