About this map

The settlement of Simnasho sits at the heart of this high plateau in north-central Oregon, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its high desert terrain and seasonal water sources. The map documents a network of rural roads, including Simnasho-Hot Springs Rd and the Asnamash Loop, that connect the town to surrounding natural features. Local history is anchored by the Simnasho Cem, while the varied topography is punctuated by Simnasho Butte and the rising slopes of the Mutton Mountains to the southeast.

Water management is evident through the Happy Valley Reservoir and named springs such as La Clair Spring. Drainage patterns follow the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Quartz Cr, which cut through the tablelands of Schoolie Flat. This survey provides a modern inventory of the region's land divisions and resource distribution within the Warm Springs area, from the isolation of The Island to the higher elevations of the Mutton Mountains.
