1987 Map of Willowcreek

About this map

Willowdale sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, where the administrative boundary between Wasco Co and Jefferson Co cuts across a complex network of drainages and volcanic formations. The terrain is defined by its deep incisions, from the steep walls of Cow Canyon and Deadman Canyon in the north to the broad sweep of Trout Creek and Pony Creek further south. The presence of the Deschutes River Recreation Lands along the western margin indicates the early integration of public land management and conservation in this part of Oregon.
