About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep path through the volcanic landscape of Central Oregon in this 2017 survey, defining the eastern edge of the community of Tumalo. The importance of water management in this arid high-desert environment is evident through the presence of the Tumalo Feed Canal and the Swalley Canal, which navigate the elevation changes near Aubrey Falls. The terrain is punctuated by significant volcanic features, including Cline Buttes to the north, Long Butte to the east, and Laidlaw Butte just south of the main settlement.

Local history and recreation are well-represented, from the Tumalo Cem perched above the river valley to the extensive network of trails traversing the high ground, such as the Maston Rim Trail and Maston Inner Trail. The map documents the modern road network, including the Cline Falls Hwy and Redmond Bend Hwy, while also showing the smaller residential clusters near Deschutes. This survey provides a clear look at how the region's topography influences both agricultural irrigation and outdoor recreation.
