About this map

Dufur serves as the primary hub in this portion of Wasco County, situated where Fifteenmile Creek flows through the landscape. The area is characterized by a sophisticated network of agricultural water management, evidenced by the presence of the Dufur Ditch, Orchard Ridge Ditch, and the Dufur Orchards Reservoir in the north. These features highlight the region's long-standing reliance on irrigation for orchard cultivation and ranching.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of the Henderson Pioneer Cemetery near Henderson Hollow, and the rural community gathering point at Ramsey Hall. To the north, the settlement of Endersby sits along Eightmile Creek, while family-named terrain like Lauronzon Canyon and Rail Hollow indicates the historical footprint of early settlers. The eastern edge is marked by the Dufur Post Office and Fargher Airfield, providing a glimpse into the local transportation and communication infrastructure of the early 21st century.
