About this map

Redmond centers this 1962 topographical study as a growing hub of the high desert, defined by the convergence of the Spokane Portland and Seattle Ry and the Oregon Trunk railway. The town's grid expands toward Roberts Field, while essential community landmarks like Edwin Brown Sch and the Central Oregon District Hospital anchor the residential core.

Beyond the city, the landscape is shaped by the volcanic geology of Tetherow Butte and the deep canyons of the Deschutes River and Crooked River. The agricultural character of the area is evident in the intricate network of the North Unit Main Canal and the South Pilot Butte Canal, which sustain the land around Terrebonne and Prineville Junction. Researchers will also note numerous Cinder Pits, reflecting the region's industrial reliance on local geological resources.
