About this map

Seekseequa Junction sits at the heart of this Jefferson County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by prominent plateaus and canyons. To the south, the Crooked River National Grassland encompasses a portion of the map, meeting the shores of Lake Simtustus. The area's cultural history is marked by the presence of Seekseequa Cem 1 and Seekseequa Cem 2, located near the intersection of various BIA and Forest Service routes that crisscross the sagebrush flats.

Water sources like Pipp Spring and Daisy Spring punctuate the arid landscape, while the deep drainage of Seekseequa Cr carves through the earth towards the river below. The topography is dominated by expansive features such as Metolius Bench, Tenino Bench, and the volcanic profiles of Coyote But and Jackson Buttes. These landforms dictate the primitive road network, including the Old Seekseequa RD, which follows the natural contours of the high country.
