About this map

The Deschutes Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through north-central Oregon, defining the landscape of this survey. Following the river's winding course reveals landmarks like the White Horse Rapids and The Pot, while a network of service roads such as S Junction Rd and the Deschutes River Rd provides access to the valley floor. To the west, the Mutton Mountains rise sharply, dissected by drainages like Antoken Creek and Skookum Creek. Local history is marked by quiet landmarks like Jersey School Spring and Larson Spring, indicating the importance of reliable water sources in this high-desert environment. The topography is further characterized by the contrasting terrain of Big Cove and Little Cove, illustrating the geological complexity of the river basin.
