1962 Map of Metolius Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Warm Springs Indian Reservation and Deschutes National Forest meet in this central Oregon landscape, dominated by the expansive plateaus of Metolius Bench and Tenino Bench. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by a series of dramatic canyon descents toward the Metolius River, including the deep cut of Box Canyon. Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with named points like Peters Spring, Beachkomb Spring, and Horse Trap Spring providing critical locations for livestock and wildlife. Movement through the area relies on a network of unimproved routes such as Tenino Road and Horse Trap Road, alongside various jeep trails. Recreational development is evident near the southern boundary, where Monty Campground and Drift Campground offer access to the river's edge, reflecting the region's mid-century role as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
