About this map

The Warm Springs Indian Reservation boundary follows the winding course of the Deschutes River as it carves through the central Oregon landscape. This 1962 survey, updated with late 20th-century photo-inspections, details a region defined by dramatic plateaus and river-fed transport corridors. The Oregon Trunk Railroad snakes along the river canyon, passing the rail siding at South Junction. To the south, the settlement of Gateway serves as a focal point for local travel, situated where Trout Creek and Mud Springs Creek converge before reaching the Deschutes.

On the higher elevations, expansive terrain like the Agency Plains and Seattle Flat dominate the landscape, separated from the river by steep descents and named canyons such as Old Maids Canyon. The map records a transition from the agricultural flats near Juniper Lane and Clark Drive to the designated Deschutes River Recreation Lands, reflecting the dual nature of the area as both a working landscape and a gateway to the high desert interior.
