2017 Map of Forked Horn Butte

About this map

Redmond and the adjacent high desert landscape are defined by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure and volcanic topography. This modern survey illustrates how water management has transformed the arid terrain of Deschutes County, with the Pilot Butte Canal, North Unit Main Canal, and Lateral C winding through the countryside to support local agriculture and development. The volcanic heritage of the region is anchored by the prominent Forked Horn Butte in the northwest, while the Deschutes River cuts a deep path along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Significant local landmarks include Roberts Field and the Redmond Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The transition from established residential grids in the north to newer developments like Pronghorn in the south reflects the ongoing expansion of the High Desert region.
