About this map

Mount Hood National Forest anchors the northern portion of this landscape, where the high terrain of the Laughlin Hills transitions toward the high desert plateau. A network of Forest Service and reservation roads, including Reservation Rd and Kelly Gulch Rd, provides access across the drainage of Coyote Cr and through the distinctive Sunflower Flat. The geography is defined by prominent high points such as Foreman Point, Quartz Butte, and the striking Simnasho Butte at the southern edge.

Water sources are critical to this arid environment, evidenced by the numerous named springs like Government Spring, Log Spring, and Daniel Spring. The layout of the map reflects a managed wilderness and tribal lands interface, marked by clear boundaries and designated grazing areas like Beaver Creek Prairie. This contemporary survey preserves the names of small drainages and rock formations, including Rainbow Rock and Byzantine Gulch, which have guided travelers and land managers through this part of Wasco County for generations.
