1963 Map of Madras West

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The rugged canyon of the Deschutes River dominates the western edge of this landscape, where the waters of Lake Simtustus are held back by dams along the steep volcanic breaks. This 1963 survey, updated through the mid-1980s, reveals the stark contrast between the deep river gorge and the irrigated agricultural lands of the Agency Plains to the east. The map identifies the former location of Vanora, a bypassed rail station on the bend of the river. Infrastructure like the North Unit Main Canal and the Madras State Airport illustrate the mid-century development of Jefferson County as it transitioned from a remote rail corridor to an organized irrigation district and regional hub.
