2017 Map of Emerson

About this map

Emerson sits at the heart of this dry plateau landscape, where the agricultural uplands of Wasco County are deeply carved by a network of drainage canyons. The northern edge of the map is defined by the boundary of the Mount Hood National Forest, while the eastern border follows the winding course of the Deschutes River, which forms the natural line between Wasco and Sherman Counties. This river corridor is an area of significant elevation change, featuring the Deschutes River Trail and several named water sources such as Ferry Springs and Mud Springs.
