About this map

Hastings Peak and Maupin Butte anchor the southern reaches of this Wasco County landscape, rising above a network of seasonal water bodies and ranching outposts. This 2011 survey details the remote high-desert character of the region, where drainage patterns from Sorefoot Creek and Long Hollow Creek define the movement across the terrain. Human presence is sparse but concentrated at locations like Sorefoot Ranch and Middle Camp, points of interest for those tracing the modern agricultural use of the land.

Distinctive geological landmarks such as The Buttes, Black Rock, and the curiously named Chinaman Hat serve as significant navigational aids in an area otherwise characterized by broad features like Little Pine Hollow Ridge and Jessie Flat. Water features in this arid environment are notable for their intermittent nature, including Big Dry Lake and Tule Lake, which reflect the seasonal hydrology of the Oregon interior.
