About this map

Coyote Creek and its many tributaries carve through the upland landscape of Wasco County in this 2011 survey. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Foreman Point, Quartz Butte, and the Laughlin Hills, punctuated by the distinct Simnasho Butte in the south. Water sources are a defining feature of the area, with numerous named points including Evick Spring, Deer Spring, and Bald Peter Pasture Spring appearing across the hills.

Resource extraction and land management are evident through the presence of Rainbow Quarry near Rainbow Rock, while the network of forestry-style roads like Quartz Butte Rd and Linns Mill Rd suggests a landscape dedicated to timber or range management. The descriptive naming of Byzantine Gulch and Sunflower Flat provides a clear view of the diverse geographic character found in this part of Oregon during the early 21st century.
