About this map

Madras and the surrounding high desert plateau are revealed in this 2014 survey, highlighting the intersection of agricultural land and protected federal territory. The northeast corner of the city is detailed, featuring the Mt Jefferson IOOF Cem and the residential grid extending toward Willow Creek. The landscape is dominated by the Crooked River National Grassland, which wraps around the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle.

North of the town center, the terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Agency Plains and the fertile bottomland of Mud Springs Valley. The map documents a rugged network of drainage systems, including Red Shed Canyon and Old Maids Canyon, which carve through the grassland. These geological features, alongside named water sources like Monner Spring and Schmoker Spring, provide a clear picture of the hydrological challenges and land-use patterns in this part of Jefferson County.
