About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep, winding path through this central Oregon landscape, a region defined by dramatic elevation changes and volcanic features. Near the center of the map, the White Horse Rapids mark a turbulent stretch of the river downstream from the settlement of Kaskela. The terrain is dominated by the Mutton Mountains to the west and large topographic depressions like The Pot and Big Cove to the east.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, represented by numerous named springs such as Jersey School Spring, Larson Spring, and Boiling Spring. A network of unpaved access roads, including the Deschutes River Access Rd and the Mutton Mountain Rd, provides the primary means of navigating the canyons and plateaus. Tributaries like Antoken Cr and Skookum Cr drain the high ground, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds the main river valley.
