About this map

Kent serves as the central hub of this Sherman County landscape, situated where local routes like 2nd St and Dobie Pt Rd converge. The area is defined by a complex drainage system that has carved numerous canyons into the plateau, including Finnegan Canyon, Jackknife Canyon, and Hannafin Canyon. To the west, the Wilson Reservoir and Wilson Reservoir Number Two provide essential water management for the region, while Finnegan Creek winds through the northern sections.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Kent Ioof Cem just north of the settlement and the remote Wilcox Cem and Daugherty Family Cem located near the head of Wilcox Canyon and Daugherty Canyon. The southern boundary reveals the transition into Wasco County, marked by the deep Rock Corral Canyon and Spears Canyon, illustrating the challenging terrain that early ranchers and residents navigated.
