1987 Map of Willowdale

About this map

Willowdale serves as the central focal point for this high-desert landscape near the Wasco and Jefferson County line during the late 1980s. The area is defined by its dramatic drainage networks, with Trout Creek and its many tributaries, such as Pony Creek and Antelope Creek, cutting deep through the terrain. A notable pipeline and Route 97 provide the primary infrastructure through the region, reflecting the utility-driven development of the era. To the west, the Deschutes River Recreation Lands suggest the area's transition toward protected public use. Prominent landmarks like Friends Peak and Pony Butte tower over the surrounding canyons, while small-scale industrial sites, including a Gravel Pit and quarry, point to the local extraction economy that supported road building and regional maintenance during this period.
