2014 Map of Steelhead Falls

About this map

Lake Billy Chinook and the deep gorges of the Deschutes River and Crooked River dominate this central Oregon landscape within the Crooked River National Grassland. The map reveals a dramatic convergence of water and high desert, where The Peninsula stands as a prominent landform between the carved channels of Carcass Canyon and Whychus Creek Canyon. For those tracing local history, the Geneva Cem sits near the Lower Desert on the western edge of the survey, while the southern reaches of the map highlight the drop at Steelhead Falls. The transition from the high plateaus of Green Mtn to the riparian corridors is marked by a network of rural roads such as SW Peninsula Dr and SW Sand Ridge Rd, illustrating the modern access into this deeply incised canyon country.
