About this map

Juniper Flat dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the small agricultural settlements of Pine Grove and Wapinitia sit along the route of the old Barlow Road. The topography shifts dramatically as the flat plateau gives way to the complex drainages of Wapinitia Cr and Rice Cr before descending into the steep ridges of the Laughlin Hills. This transition from open range to the timbered slopes of the Mount Hood National Forest reflects the varied land use in this part of Wasco County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Wapinitia Cem near the townsite and the more isolated Red Lake Cem to the south. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by volcanic landmarks like Simnasho Butte and Bald Peter Butte, alongside essential water sources such as Nena Spring and Red Lake. A network of forest and ranch roads, including Walters Rd and Kishwalks Rd, connects these remote outposts.
