About this map

Potters Ponds and the surrounding high desert plateau define this 2014 survey along the border of Wasco and Jefferson counties. The landscape is carved by a network of drainage systems, including the westward-flowing Mill Creek and the deeply incised Shitike Creek to the south. Broad, relatively level areas like Mill Creek Flat and Miller Flat suggest the open grazing or transition lands characteristic of this region.

A complex network of administrative and forest roads, such as Us-26 and various Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-32, crisscrosses the terrain, providing access to remote points like Seymore Springs and the depths of Wolford Canyon. The map preserves the 21st-century state of these water sources and canyon tracks, serving as a record of the hydrological features and transit routes before any further environmental or administrative changes.
