2011 Map of Summit Ridge

About this map

Summit Ridge and its network of agricultural and market roads define the plateau geography of Wasco County in this 2011 survey. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages that feed the Deschutes River, which appears in the southeastern corner near Ferry Canyon. This area is characterized by high ridges such as Hastings Ridge Rd and seasonal watercourses like Davis Creek. The naming conventions of the local infrastructure, including Wrentham Market Rd and Summit Ridge Mkt Rd, suggest a historic connectivity between high-elevation farmsteads and regional market centers. Further topographical variety is found in the northern breaks at Windmill Canyon and the eastern descent into Craft Canyon, illustrating the transition from open ridge tops to the steep river corridors of the Oregon interior.
