2011 Map of Simnasho

About this map

Simnasho serves as the focal point for this area on the Warm Springs Reservation, where a network of BIA and local roads connects the community with the surrounding high desert terrain. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional activity centers and geographical landmarks, such as the prominent Schoolie Flat and the water sources that sustain the landscape, including Quartz Creek and the Warm Springs River along the southern edge. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Simnasho Cemetery and family-named landmarks like the Suppah Windmill. To the east, the map details the junction at Four Corners and the area of Kishwalks. The presence of the Happy Valley Reservoir and La Clair Spring illustrates the vital role of water management in this arid environment, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting this community at the start of the 21st century.
