About this map

The Deschutes River serves as the central artery for this high-desert landscape, carved deeply into the basalt plateaus of Wasco and Sherman counties. At the heart of the map, the town of Maupin and its neighbors East Maupin and Cambrai cling to the riverbanks near the junction of several canyons. This 1996 revision shows a landscape defined by water and infrastructure, featuring a Powerhouse on the White River and a Fish Hatchery near Oak Springs.

Movement through the terrain is dictated by the steep geography, with Bakeoven Road and the historic Bakeoven Trail ascending eastward from the river valley. Significant tracts of the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River and National Recreation Lands protect the riparian corridor, while the broad, arid expanse of Juniper Flat stretches westward, highlighting the sharp contrast between the irrigated valley floors and the dry upland plateaus.
