2017 Map of Maupin SW

About this map

Juniper Flat dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the plateau gives way to the deep, winding incision of Devil Canyon. The terrain transitions from the open grazing lands of Natural Pasture into the rising elevations of the Mutton Mountains to the south. Water management is a central theme of the northern geography, evidenced by the Kelly Lateral and several drainages including Wapinitia Cr and Rice Cr that flow toward the eastern boundary. The Nelson Ranch Airport serves as a lone modern landmark in this expansive territory. Along the eastern edge, the Deschutes River carves a significant corridor, accompanied by Deschutes River Rd, illustrating how the waterway dictates the primary transport and topographic relief in this part of Wasco County.
