2014 Map of Kent

About this map

Kent centers this high-plateau landscape in Sherman County, where the dry landscape is deeply etched by a series of drainage systems. The small settlement is surrounded by family-named landmarks and water management features essential for life in this arid region, including Borstel Pond, Wilson Reservoir Number Two, and Wilson Reservoir. Topographic detail reveals the complex terrain south and east of the town, where Finnegan Canyon, Bronx Canyon, and Jackknife Canyon descend toward the river systems below. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial sites such as the Kent IOOF Cem, Wilcox Cem, and the Daugherty Family Cem. The boundary between Sherman Co and Wasco Co is visible in the southwest, while Us-97 serves as the primary north-south artery connecting the scattered farmsteads and rangelands.
