About this map

Friend and the surrounding high-country landscape of Wasco County sit at the edge of the Mount Hood National Forest, where agricultural plateaus meet wooded drainages. The small community and its adjacent Friend Cem are the focal point for a network of local roads including Clark Mill Rd and Heberlein Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by watercourses such as Tygh Cr and Jordan Cr, which flow through features like Gurley Canyon and past Owl Hollow.

Irrigation and water management are central to this landscape, as seen in the Highland Ditch feeding into the Pine Hollow Reservoir. This reservoir serves the Pine Hollow area, where a concentration of streets like N Airstrip Dr and N Sentosa Lake Rd suggests a planned settlement or recreational community. The map also traces the transition from the forested heights of the national forest to the open spaces of Happy Ridge and the Badger Cr valley.
