About this map

Wickiup Dam and its expansive Wickiup Reservoir dominate this high-desert landscape within the Deschutes National Forest. Located where the Deschutes River flows through Central Oregon, the reservoir is framed by a series of volcanic features including Wickiup Butte, Eaton Butte, and Gilchrist Butte. The topography reveals the transition from the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range toward the river basin, with clear demarcations of wetland areas such as Dilman Meadows.

Transport through this timber and recreational corridor is defined by forest service roads like Wickiup Rd and Old Wickiup Rd. The map provides detailed elevation contours for numerous surrounding peaks, including Wampus Butte and Wright Butte, alongside the winding path of the river at Bull Bend. This record reflects the complex hydrology and management of the Deschutes watershed in the early twenty-first century.
