About this map

Warm Springs River meanders through the high desert of Wasco County, defining a landscape of basalt plateaus and winding waterways. The terrain is punctuated by prominent volcanic formations such as Hehe Butte and Simnasho Butte, which rise above the surrounding flats. Extensive alluvial plains, including Schoolie Flat, Mill Creek Flat, and Miller Flat, suggest a long history of cattle grazing and seasonal land use.

A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Simnasho Rd and Mill Creek Hehe Rd, provides access to the interior, reflecting the infrastructure of the surrounding reservation lands. Water management is evident through the presence of the Mill Cr Canal, which draws from Mill Cr to support the local environment. Notable topographic features like The Island and Beaver Creek Prairie mark the convergence of the varied stream systems that feed into the larger river drainage.
