About this map

Willowdale serves as a central point in this landscape where the high desert terrain of Wasco and Jefferson Counties meet. The geography is defined by a complex system of drainage and relief, ranging from the prominent heights of Friends Peak and Pony Butte to the dramatic incisions of Cow Canyon and Bull Canyon. The presence of Cram Ditch and various water sources like Bostick Spring and Cow Canyon Springs indicates the vital importance of water management in this arid region of Central Oregon.

Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated along the north-south corridor of Ne Old Us HWY 97, which threads through the Trout Creek Valley. This area shows a blend of traditional ranching geography and modern utility, evidenced by the Ochs Private Airport situated near the banks of Trout Cr. The map captures a transition between the elevated plateaus of The Flatirons and the fertile lowlands where Hay Cr and other tributaries converge.
