About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep, winding path through the basalt plateaus of Wasco County, serving as the central geographic feature of this high desert region. The settlement of Maupin and its neighbor East Maupin are situated at a crucial crossing point where Us-197 meets the canyon floor. Above the river, the landscape transitions into the expansive Juniper Flat to the west and the high benches of Tygh Valley to the north.

Transport and topography define this area, with the Deschutes River Access Rd hugging the shoreline beneath steep bluffs like McLeod Ridge and the distinctively named Devils Halfacre. Numerous seasonal drainages and canyons, including Chicken Spring Canyon and Bakeoven Cr, underscore the complex drainage patterns feeding into the Deschutes. The town's grid is preserved in detail, showing streets such as Lincoln Ave and Staats Ave as they overlook the river's bend.
