2011 Map of Millican

About this map

Millican stands as a primary point of reference in this high desert landscape, situated along the path of the ephemeral Dry River. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage patterns and erosional features such as Smith Canyon and Tepee Draw, which carve through the open country. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a network of backroads and trails, including Spencer Wells Rd and Ford Rd, that crisscross the region's sparse vegetation and arid flats. The map serves as a record of rural Deschutes County infrastructure, showing the alignment of Millican Rd and Fox Butte Rd as they navigate the basin, providing critical waypoints for those navigating the wide-open spaces of central Oregon.
