1987 Map of Shaniko Junction

About this map

Shaniko Junction sits as a lonely crossroads on the plateau above the Deschutes River in Wasco County. This high desert landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, where steep incisions like Boardtree Canyon and Cow Canyon cut through the earth toward the river's edge. The 1980s infrastructure is evident through the network of Trans Lines and a prominent Pipeline that traverse the terrain, alongside the high-altitude Criterion Summit.
