About this map

Hehe Butte and Simnasho Butte dominate this high-desert landscape in Wasco County, marking a terrain defined by broad flats and deeply incised watercourses. The drainage of the Warm Springs River winds through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Badger Cr and Coyote Cr. Large, relatively level expanses such as Mill Creek Flat, Miller Flat, and the Beaver Creek Prairie suggest a landscape used for seasonal grazing or open-range transit.

A complex network of rural and administrative roads, including Simnasho Rd and numerous Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA Rd 7003, provide access to this remote region. The presence of the Mill Cr Canal in the southwestern corner indicates managed water distribution in an otherwise arid environment. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely settled area where topographic landmarks like The Island serve as primary navigational points across the plateau.
