1967 Map of Evans Well

About this map

Deschutes National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into dense timberland during the late 1960s. The northern reaches open into the Millican Valley, a stark contrast of open flats marked by essential water sources like Evans Well and Smith Well. This region reflects a history of utilitarian land use, evidenced by the presence of Camp 1 (Site) and scattered Borrow Pits near the forest boundary. Topographic details reveal the complex drainage patterns of Tepee Draw and the encroachment of ancient Lava flows along the eastern edge, illustrating the volcanic history that shaped this part of the Oregon interior.
