1963 Map of Warm Springs

About this map

The Warm Springs River carves through the basalt-edged plateau of north-central Oregon, defining the northwestern corner of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. This landscape is characterized by high, arid mesas like Schoolie Flat and Miller Flat, which drop sharply into the Canyon of Shitike Creek. Near the southeastern edge of the map, the community of Warm Springs serves as a vital focal point, featuring essential infrastructure such as a Filtration Plant, Sewage Disposal, and Radio Towers. Cultural and civic landmarks including the Rodeo Grounds and Bruno Cem reflect the community life and heritage of the area. Sparse settlements like Wolford and numerous water sources such as Symentire Spring and Tohet Spring dot the dry uplands, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this high-desert environment.
