1985 Map of Steelhead Falls

About this map

Lake Billy Chinook and its confluence with the Deschutes River define this high-desert landscape in Central Oregon. The deep incisions of the Crooked River Gorge slice through the center of the map, separating The Peninsula from the vast expanse of the Crooked River National Grassland. The presence of several hydroelectric and water management features, such as the Powerplant, Opal Springs, Diversion Dam, and an Aqueduct, highlights the industrial utility of these canyon floors during the mid-1980s.
