About this map

Pine Mtn dominates this portion of the Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon, where the high desert terrain transitions between volcanic uplands and broad basins. The landscape is marked by geological depressions like the Millican Valley and Kotzman Basin, while drainage patterns are defined by the ephemeral Tepee Draw and Dry River. Water sources are sparse but critical in this arid environment, evidenced by isolated features like Antelope Spring and Brudetich Well.

A network of off-highway vehicle trails and forest service roads, including the historical Ford Rd and Lava Bed Rd, crisscross the area, reflecting the modern recreational use of the high desert. The map provides a look at the section lines and township boundaries—such as t20s r15e—that organize this federally managed land, showing how transportation routes like Pine Mountain Rd navigate the complex topography of West Basin Canyon.
