About this map

Agency Plains and the northern reaches of Madras anchor this landscape where high desert plateaus meet deep-cut drainages. The Mount Jefferson IOOF Cem sits at the edge of the urban boundary, serving as a significant landmark for local family historians. Educational development is represented by the Central Oregon Community College Madras Campus, reflecting the modern expansion of the community into the surrounding terrain.

Water is a defining feature of the topography, from the Mud Springs Creek flowing through Mud Springs Valley to isolated water sources like Monner Spring and Schmoker Spring in the eastern canyons. Large portions of the area are dedicated to the Crooked River National Grassland, showcasing the balance between agricultural development and public land management. This map documents a complex network of rural routes, including NE Old US Hwy 97, providing a clear record of the area's contemporary road system.
