2023 Map of Emerson

About this map

Emerson stands as the central point of reference in this landscape defined by deep canyons and high ridges east of the Cascades. The survey captures the intricate drainage patterns where Fifteenmile Creek and Davis Creek carve through the high plateau, eventually meeting the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River which forms the eastern boundary of the quadrangle. This area serves as a rugged intersection of public and private interests, with the northeastern corner touching the Mount Hood National Forest.
