About this map

Warm Springs Indian Reservation land meets the Crooked River National Grassland in this mid-1980s topographical study. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, where high plateaus like Tenino Bench and Metolius Bench overlook the deep canyons of the Deschutes River and Lake Simtustus. Human presence is sparse, concentrated at Seekseequa Junction and a nearby Trailer Park at the northern edge.

Evidence of local history and land use is marked by scattered sites such as a Quarry, a Water Tank, and multiple cemeteries near the junction. Water sources are critical in this arid terrain, with Daisy Spring, Pipp Spring, and Tenino Creek providing vital points of reference. Notable high points like Coyote Butte and Jackson Buttes rise above the complex network of gravel roads and trails including the Jackson Trail and Beachkomb Road.
