About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses much of this Central Oregon landscape, where water management is central to the area's development. The Little Deschutes River winds through the western half of the map, while an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Walker Basin Canal, Mayfield Ditch, and W A Lateral, illustrates the ongoing transformation of the high desert for agricultural use.

Topographic landmarks like Masten Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, providing a natural anchor near the Deschutes Co / Klamath Co boundary. The presence of Long Prairie and the Long Prairie Slough suggests a diverse riparian environment amidst the forest and modern residential road developments such as Circle Bar Dr and Wild Mustang Ln. These family-named roads and rural lanes indicate a shift toward rural residential settlement in the later 20th and early 21st centuries.
