2011 Map of Kaskela

About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep path through this portion of Wasco County, serving as the central axis for remote ranching and transit points. At North Junction, the landscape reflects the intersection of river geography and rural infrastructure, while the small settlement of Kaskela sits further south along the riverbank. The presence of Whiskey Dick Ranch and Hardy Ranch indicates the long-standing agricultural use of these canyon-adjacent lands. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by numerous named features such as Jersey School Spring, Boiling Spring, and Larson Spring. The terrain is defined by distinctive landforms like The Pot and several deep coves, including Little Cove and Big Cove. This map provides a detailed view of the access roads like South Junction Rd and various service routes that navigate the complex drainage systems of Antoken Creek and Oak Creek.
