About this map

The Warm Springs Indian Reservation boundary follows the Warm Springs River and Deschutes River, marking a sharp division in the central Oregon landscape. To the west, the reservation lands rise toward Webster Flat, while to the east, the plateau of Agency Plains is defined by a network of agricultural roads and irrigation features. The settlement of Gateway serves as a local hub for this high desert farming community, situated near the headwaters of Mud Springs Creek.

Tracing the waterways reveals the dramatic canyon topography, where Trout Creek and Tenmile Creek carve deep through the volcanic basalt. In the northern reaches, South Junction marks a significant point in the regional transport and river network. The inclusion of the Deschutes River Recreation Lands highlights the importance of the river corridor for more than just irrigation and rail passage during this early 1960s era.
