About this map

Forked Horn Butte rises over the high desert landscape south of Redmond Cemetery in this early twenty-first century documentation of Deschutes County. The area reflects significant modern infrastructure, anchored by the expansive grounds of Roberts Field-Redmond Municipal Airport and a growing network of residential thoroughfares such as SW Canal Blvd and SW Helmholtz Way.

Vital water management systems define the terrain, tracing the routes of the North Unit Main Canal, Pilot Butte Canal, and Lateral C. These irrigation features represent the essential engineering required for the region's development, while smaller local names like Boonesborough Dr and SW Cascade Vista Dr illustrate the residential expansion pushing outward from the core of the city. This survey captures a moment when traditional landmarks and modern aviation facilities converged on the Oregon landscape.
