2020 Map of Kaskela

About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep, winding canyon through the high desert of northern Oregon, acting as the central artery for this 2020 landscape. Near the settlement of Kaskela, the river churns through White Horse Rapids, a notable point for those navigating these waters. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, particularly in the Mutton Mountains to the northwest and prominent geological formations like The Pot and Big Cove. A network of access roads, including Mutton Mtn Rd and S-Junction Rd, provides limited entry into this complex terrain. For local historians and researchers, the map identifies specific water sources and drainage systems such as Boiling Spring, Jersey School Spring, and Skookum Cr, which are essential markers of the area's hydrology and past land use patterns.
