About this map

The confluence of the Deschutes River and the Warm Springs River anchors this landscape in Jefferson County, where the high desert meets a complex network of waterways and canyons. The small settlement of Gateway serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Mud Springs Creek and the notable passage of Lyle Gap to the southeast. To the north, the rail-oriented site of South Junction marks the convergence of transit and terrain where the river valleys narrow significantly.

The topography is defined by distinct landmarks such as Coleman Point and Webster Flat, while the erosion of Trout Creek and Brocher Creek has carved deep canyons like Gate Spring Canyon and Baker Canyon. This 2011 survey reveals a transition from these dramatic relief features to the broader expanses of Seattle Flat. The map also traces a detailed grid of local lanes, including Ne Mcfarland LN and Ne Quaale RD, which connect these isolated homesteads and geographical points across the arid plateau.
