About this map

Henderson Pioneer Cem sits at the heart of this landscape, marking the early settlement history near the intersection of Dufur Valley Rd and Rail Hollow Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems, including Japanese Hollow, Lauronzon Canyon, and Rail Hollow, which channel water toward the larger valley floors. The economy of this high-plateau region is clearly linked to its water management, evidenced by features such as the Orchard Ridge Ditch, Dufur Ditch, and the Dufur Orchards Reservoir.

Settlement is concentrated along the eastern edge, with the town of Dufur and the smaller community of Endersby serving as local hubs. These areas are connected by a network of winding roads like Pleasant Ridge Rd and the Endersby Cutoff, which traverse the high ground between Starveout Cr and Fifteenmile Cr. The map captures a sophisticated rural irrigation system essential for the region's agricultural output.
