About this map

Crooked River and its dramatic Gorge define the northern reaches of this High Desert landscape, while the burgeoning city of Redmond serves as the hub to the south. The 1962 field-checked data captures the city's mid-century expansion, evidenced by the development around Elm Ave and Antler Ave, and the presence of civic institutions like the Central Oregon District Hospital and John Tuck Sch.

Agricultural infrastructure is a dominant theme, with the North Unit Main Canal, Pilot Butte Canal, and numerous lateral roads supporting the arid plateau. Volcanic history is written across the terrain, from the towering face of Smith Rock to the cinder extraction sites on Tetherow Butte. Transportation and commerce are anchored by the Oregon Trunk and Spokane Portland and Seattle Railway and Roberts Field, illustrating the town's role as a regional transit point.
