About this map

The Deschutes River serves as the central artery of this region, carved deeply into the high plateau where the White River flows in from the west. The town of Maupin is situated at a dramatic bend in the river, connected by rail and road to the smaller settlements of East Maupin and Cambrai. This area represents a critical junction for mid-century transportation and utility infrastructure, featuring both the Northern Pacific and Burlington Union railroads following the river's path.

Up on the surrounding plateaus, the landscape transitions to the wide expanse of Juniper Flat and the rugged canyons of Bakeoven Creek and Buck Hollow. Evidence of local industry and resource management is clear, from the Fish Hatchery near Oak Springs to the Powerhouse and Gaging Sta along the northern waters. This 1962 survey, photorevised in 1987, documents the persistence of small outposts like Tuscan alongside developing recreational boundaries.
