2011 Map of Evans Well

About this map

Millican Valley characterizes this high-desert landscape in Deschutes County, defined by a complex network of forest roads and historic encampments. Remote water sources like Evans Well and Smith Well are the primary landmarks in an area dominated by volcanic features and timber management routes. This 2011 survey documents a cluster of sites including Camp One, Camp Two, and the Camp II Trailhead, suggesting a region heavily utilized for forestry and recreation within the national forest system. The road network is particularly dense here, with named routes like Orphan Butte RD, Cinder Hill RD, and Lava Bed RD providing access to the various cinder and lava formations that mark the local geology. Researchers can trace the connection between these specialized camps and the expansive trail system, such as the 14 Trail Head, which serves as a gateway to the more remote sections of the valley.
