1988 Map of Stearns Butte

About this map

Crooked River dominates this Central Oregon landscape, its serpentine path carved through deep canyons as it flows toward the northwest. The river's flow is heavily managed for irrigation and wildlife, evidenced by a network of water control infrastructure including Stearns Dam, Hoffman Dam, and a Siphon located near various flumes. These features reflect the mid-century engineering efforts to harness the region's limited water resources for agriculture and habitat management.
