About this map

Warm Springs and the surrounding tribal lands define this high-desert landscape where the Warm Springs River meets the Deschutes River. The geography is marked by distinct geological formations and local landmarks such as Eagle Butte and Tee Wees Butte, while the Agency Plains stretch toward the southeast. The map details a network of essential water sources including Shitike Creek and Dry Creek, alongside unique features like the Kah-nee-ta Hot Spring.

Tracing the early roads and settlements reveals the importance of topographical navigation in this region, notably the Mecca Grade and numerous canyon routes. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of Hot Springs Cem and Dry Creek Cem provides specific points of interest. The map serves as a record of land use across the Wasco and Jefferson county line, illustrating the intersection of residential areas, rugged canyons like Indian Head Canyon, and broad plateaus like Webster Flat.
