About this map

Juniper Flat transitions into a complex system of deep canyons and ridges in this 1962 survey of North-Central Oregon. The Warm Springs Indian Reservation Boundary defines the central landscape, accompanied by the Old Indian Reservation Boundary (Handley Line), providing a clear record of historical jurisdictional limits. These boundaries traverse the rugged slopes of the Mutton Mountains and follow the drainages of Nena Creek and Wapinitia Creek.

To the east, the Deschutes River serves as a primary corridor for the Oregon Trunk (Spokane Portland and Seattle) railroad. The presence of a Landing Strip on the flat and various Jeep Trails throughout the canyons illustrates the intersection of early aviation and difficult backcountry access. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and scattered wells, while the land use is further characterized by designated areas of Natural Pasture.
