About this map

The Deschutes National Forest dominates this section of Central Oregon, revealing a complex network of water management and forest transit west of Bend. A sophisticated irrigation and hydroelectric infrastructure is visible through the Columbia Canal, Southern Canal, and the Tumalo Feed Canal, which draw from Tumalo Creek. This system of canals and an Aqueduct highlights the mid-century engineering required to manage water resources in the high desert landscape.

Legacy transport routes include the Old Jeep Railroad Grade Trail, suggesting the area's history of logging and resource extraction. Significant local landmarks such as Triangle Hill and Bull Spring punctuate the terrain, while the eastern edge includes the City of Bend's Shevlin Park. The presence of the Cascade Lakes Highway and various forest roads like Skyliners Road provide a detailed look at the recreational and industrial access points into the foothills of the Cascades during this era.
