PHYSICAL ASPECTS
Jefferson County is composed of landforms varying from the high
mountain areas in the High Cascades in the west to the semiarid rangelands
in the east. It shows all the transitional elements between these two
extremes. The rivers in general run in deep canyons, and many of the smaller
creeks dry up in the summer. The elevation ranges from iO,OLi5 feet on the
summit of Mount Jefferson to about l,00 feet in the lower canyons of the
Desohutes and John Day Rivers.
Climate
The climate of Jefferson County is continental, but the Cascade

Soils
A soil report for Deschutes and Jefferson Counties was published in 1958.
The fieldwork for that survey was completed in l9I5, so the statements based
on the soil report refer to conditions in the area at that time.
The Deschutes area surveyed occupies 526.2 square miles along the Deschutes
River
About half of the area is in JJeschutes County and half in Jefferson
County.
The area contains about three-fourths of the cropland in Deschutes and
Jefferson Counties.
In the following the soil series which occur in the surveyed area will be discussed.
In the Agency series are soils of the Brown great soil group that formed
under a normal annual precipitation of 8 5 to U inches and a natural vegetation
of big sagebrush, bunchgrasses, scattered junipers and associated plants.
These
well-drained soils occur mainly in nearly level or gently undulating upland plains,
and in some areas that are more dissected.
The upper part of Agency soils was derived principally from weathered,
partly consolidated, sedimentary materials of the Dalles formation. These
materials include pumiceous or tuffaceous sandstones, agglomerates, gravel, sands,
tuffs, cinders, ashes, and agglomerate-mudflows.
The water-spread materials
are mostly' volcanic.
The sandstones and agglomerates dominate in the parent
material. They' are mixed and contain much rhy'olitic and other acidic materials
and materials that are andesitic and more basic.
In some places the upper part
of the soil contains a small admixture of fine pumice, volcanic ash, and bess.
The lower parts of the soil typically' are affected by' or derived from weathered
basaltic fragments which overlie basalt bedrock. The soils are moderately developed.
The upper 16 inches of this soil apparently' was derived mainly from
pumiceous or tuffaceous sandstone.
It contains a small quantity' of very' pale
brown, light y'ellowi.sh-brown, or yellow pumice the size of medium and fine sand.
Probably small amounts of windborne fine pumice, volcanic ash, and bess have
been added. The B22 horizon was derived from mixed rediduum from sandstone and
basalt. In places enough basalt fragments are on and in the surface soil to
prevent tillage. The upper part of this soil commonly contains a few red
rhy'olitic and dark-colored basaltic and andesitic pebbles. These pebbles are
rounded and subangular.
The Dëschutes series consists of Brown soils that have formed in a climate
and on relief similar to those in which the Agency soils, however, are larger
and more numerous than thos.e on the Agency' soils, and the bunchgrasses are
sparser. Some of the junipers have a trunk 20 inches in diameter and a height
of 30 feet. The higher water-holding capacity' of the vesicular pumiceous
material of the Deschutes soils possibly accounts for the more vigorous growth
of the junipers.
The Deschutes soils differ from Agency' soils in their parent material and
degree of development. They were formed principally' in dicite pumice sand,
probably' mixed with some finer volcanic dust. The lower part of the soils may
be more or less mixed with fragments of basalt, pebbles, and other lecal alluvium from nearby ridges of Scabland, or with gravelly or sandy material from
other sources. The pumice may have been deposited L,000 to 7,000 years ago.

surface soil.
The pumice was laid down on a basalt flow, probably of Recent age; on
sandy and gravelly outwash fans, perhaps glacial outwash; on semicemented dlder
gravelly and sandy materials; on volcanic cinders; and perhaps on other materials.
The pumiceous material generally is deep enough to constitute the soluni. Included in the Deschutes series are several soils having a solum similar to that

Deschutes soils differ somewhat from the typical soils of the series in being
noncalcareous throughout, slightly less alkaline, and slightly' darker in the
surface soils. These soils are mapping inclusions. They somewhat resemble
the Laidlaw soils.

of the weak development is unknown. Era soils contain considerably less
pumice than Deschutes soils and have a more friable subsoil.
In the Lamonta series are soils of the Brown great soil group. They' form
under the same conditions which the Agency' soils formed. The parent material
of the soils of the two series was rather similar, but in places the Lamonta
soils were derived to a greater extent from residuum from fragments of rb'olite.
Instead of basalt, the Lamonta soils in most areas are underlain by partly
consolidated agglomerates and sandstones of the Dalles formation or by' old
water-spread or colluvial material from nearby buttes.
Lamonta soils have a claypan subsoil that is finer textured and denser

climate and vegetation similar to those under which the Agency' soils formed.
Madras soils were derived mainly from residuum from the underlying Dalles formation, mainly partly consolidated pumiceous or tuffaceous sandstone and agglomerate.
In places the upper part of the parent material has a small admixture
of fine pumice, volcanic ash, and bess.
Unlike the Agency soils, the Madras soils typically have a lime-andsilica hardpan, or caliche that overlies or is in a layer of somewhat
consolidated sandstone and agglomerate. In places the hardpan is dense and
several inches thick. It may be in the form of variously thick plates,
which in places are fracture; or it may consist mainly of crusts or cemented

places, especially where irrigated, these soils are moderately well drained.
Some runoff is received from the higher areas.
Redmond soils are in the ]Jeschutes-Redxnond-Odin catena, which is a
group of soils developed principally in sandy pumice. Redmond soils differ
from the weakly developed Deschutes soil in being moderately to moderately
weakly developed and in having a B2 horizon that is distinctly finer in texture
and more compact. This development apparently results from the greater moistiire and the slightly finer parent material. Redmond soils are better drained
and browner than the Odin soils, and they differ from the Agency soils in
being derived mainly from puiniceous material.

material helped to retain organic matter.
In the southern and southwestern parts of the area where the normal
annual precipitation is 11 to 12 inches or slightly more, the soils that
developed differ from typical Chestnut soils. They are noncalcareous throughout, somewhat dark, lower in organic matter, and less granular.
These differences result partly from the coarse pumiceous parent material that has been
deposited fairly recently. The little calcium carbonate that has formed has
been leached from the sandy material. Less organic matter has formed because
this coarse-textured soil with high water-holding capacity seems better suited
to trees than to grasses. In this zone the sagebrush and juniper are mixed
with ponderosa pine, which becomes thicker as the precipitation increases.
Brom Podzolic soils have formed in this area of higher precipitation where
the pine is thicker.
The soils in this transitional zone perhaps can best be classified as
rown-Brown Podzolic transitional soils. They have very weak profile development, and therefore are somewhat transitional to Regosols.
A few soils mapped
in the Deschutes series have characterjsjtics similar to those of this group.

The Low-Humic Gley soils have been more affected by depressed relief and
imperfect drainage than by climate and vegetation. Gleed horizons have formed
and mottles are common
The lime has been leached from the soil, and not much
organic matter has accumulated.
The Odin soils are imperfectly to poorly drained Low-I-Iumic Gleys. They
lie in depressions and small basins that generally have no natural outlets.
Most of these areas receive runoff from surrounding higher soils
Particularly' in irrigated sections, at least a moderately high water table occurs part
of the time, and a few areas are flooded for short periods.
The poor drainage
of some of the areas isprobably caused by long periods of irrigation. The
natural vegetation probably consisted of bunchgrasses, big sagebrush, rabbitbrush, and junipers, but some areas now have water-loving grasses, sedges, and
reeds, and a few places have cattails
The annual precipitation ranges from
8 to 10 inches.
Odin soils are the poorest drained soils of the Ischutes-Redmond-Od-jn
catena, the soils of which formed principally in dacite pumice. In some places,
however, the parent material of Odin soils contains local wash.
In other
places the lower part of the soil was derived from or affected by the underlying partly consolidated sandstone, other water-laid materials, or basalt.
The parent material is mixed, but it is mostly acid and igneous. The soils
differ from Redmond soils in being more poorly drained, grayer, mottled, and
noncalcareous in most places. In many places a weakly cemented layer occurs
in the lower part of the Odin soils0 This layer appears to be a geologic
stratum of the Dalles formation.

facts resulted in an inventory by the Oregon Conservation Needs Committee,
which assembled such facts into Oregon Soil and Water Conservation Needs
Inventory, Oregon Conservation Needs Committe, January 1971.
The acreage covered by the inventory included about L8 percent of the
total land area in Oregon by county. Most of the excluded area was federally
owned land on which conservation programs were already in progress.

that it is unfit for cultivation and grazing. This land can be used only
for recreation, wildlife habitat or water supply.
The classification can be broken into two divisions:
(1) land in capability classes I through IV is generally suited for cultivation and other uses;
and (2) land in capability classes V through VIII is best suited for range,
forestry and wildlife.
Land capability classes are sometimes divided into subclasses to indicate the dominating limitation or hazard. The subclasses are

Agricultural Land
Agricultural land base for Jefferson County includes 02,727 acres. This
area is proportioned into cropland, wooded land, etc.
The major uses of the cropland are for the production of small grains, seed
crops, hay, and other field crops. Livestock of various species occupy the
pasture and grazing lands.

Forest Land
Ponderosa pine is the predominant wood species in Jefferson County. The
remaining ma,jor species are Douglas fir, Grand fir, white fir and Engelmann
spruce
These are all soft-woods, as hard-woods are not grown abundantly in
the area for logging purposes.
About 26% of the forest land is privately owned. This is 9L,OOO acres of
commercial forest land. The remaining 7I% is under federal ownership.
The major uses of forest land in Jefferson County are primarily for commercial timber with some outdoor recreationand watershed protection. Wildlife
habitat and grazing are also important.
There was an estimated 36,OOO acres of commercial forest land as of 196t.
Commercial forest land is forest land that is (a) producing or is physically
capable of producing useable crops of wood, (b) economically available now or
prospectively for timber harvest, (c) not withd±'awn from timber harvest. In
196)4 the U S Forest Service estimated there was 2)41,000 acres of non-commercial
forest land in Jefferson County
This land is physically incapable of producing
useable crops of wood or is reserved from timber harvest through statute, ordinance or administrative order.

Over half the county area is covered with coniferous forest and woodlands, and the remainder is covered with sagebrush and bunchgrass. Forests
blanket the entire eastern slopes of the Cascades except for small areas
above timber line around the higher peaks and on recent lava flows. They
also cover the Ochoco and Maury Mountains but are found mostly on the north
facing slopes of the lower foothills and outlying buttes
The dominant species of tree is the ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa)
which occupies a belt varying from 5 to 20 miles in width along the entire
western border of the region and throughout most of the Ochoco Mountains
In the more accessible areas, many of the larger trees have been logged off,
but there are still large stands of old growth timber adjacent to highways
and in remote and inaccessible areas which have long been in national forests.
The continuity of the virgin ponderosa belt in broken by some Douglas fir
(Pseudotsuga taxifolia), western white pine (Pinus monticola), immature
stands of second growth ponderosa, and pockets of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta) where cutting has occurred. On the upper slopes of the Cascades
are pure stands of mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertesiana), western hemlock
(Tsuga heterophylla), noble fir (Abies procera), Pacific silver fir (Abies
amabilis), Douglas fir, larch (Larix occidentalis), and mixed stands of
these and other species.
In the highest areas are found subalpine forests
consisting of sparse stands of alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa), white fir
(Abies grandis), and lodgepole pine.
These often cover the ridges and
extend to timberline on the several peaks that rise above the summit of
the Cascades. Mixed types predominate for three to ten miles along the
Cascade summits, Although the stands of ponderosa are relatively pure in
most of the timbered areas, on the basin floor they begin to merge into
a woodland-steppe zone of scattered juniper (Juniperus occidentalis),
and lodgepole pine, bunchgrass, and sagebrush.
Areas where there are large, relatively pure stands of juniper and
lodgepole pine are found in the central and south central portions of the
Basin. Lodgepole pine predominates to the sough near Beaver Marsh and
extends north gradually intermixing with ponderosa pine. where drainage
is poor the ponderosa is absent, or confined to slight rises which are
better drained. Farther north on the central plateau, is an extensive

found to the southeast along ridges in the semi-arid High Plains.
The original natural vegetation of the nonforested area was predominantly perennial bunchgrass, but as a result of improper grazing
practices, much of this has been invaded by less valuable annual grasses,
weeds, and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata).
The predominant bunchgrasses
are bluebunch wheatgrass (gropyron spicatum), Idaho fescue (Festuca
Other less abundant
idahoensis), and Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda).
perennial grasses are needlegrass (Stipa spp.), Indian ricegrass
(Orzopsis hymenoides), thickspike wheatgrass (Agrotyron dasystachyuxn),
junegrass (Koeleria cristata), and giant wild-rye (Elymus cinereus).
Giant wild-rye grows in swales arid other moist sites. Idaho fescue is

sandy soils, Indian ricegrass, sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus),
bearless wild-rye (Elymus triticoides), needlegrass, and thickspike
wheatgrass commonly predominate.
Excellent grasses for livestock are found among the juniper woodlands,
if the range has been under proper management.
Grazing is generally poor
among the juniper woodlands, since those areas have long been overgrazed.
Productivity of the range is low compared to the original condition in
all unprotected districts. The best grazing is found within the national
forests, especially in areas that are well-watered.

Practically all (more than 98.2 percent) of the land area of Jefférson County is located in either the Deschutes River or the John Day River
Basin. A total of l,58L square miles or 88.3 percent of Jefferson County
are in the Deschutes River Basin, and 177 square miles or 9.9 percent of
Jefferson County are located in the John Day Drainage Basin. Each of
these Basins is divided into Sub-Basins. Three of the five sub-basins of
the Deschutes River are contained at least in part in Jefferson County,
and only one sub-basin of the John Day River, the Lower John Day sub-basin,
has part of its area in the county.
In the following, each of these subbasins will be discussed in detail.
The Deschutes River Sub-Basin includes the Deschutes drainage between
Mecca, river mile 96, and Benham Falls, mile 181, with the exception of
the Crooked River drainage which is discussed separately.
The sub-basin
has an area of 1,850 square miles, of which 51 percent are in Jefferson
County.
The western boundary of the sub-basin is formed by the skyline
of the Cascade Mountains, the southern boundary runs through Deschutes
County from the Three Sisters to Benham Falls and the Paulina Mountains.
From the Paulina Mountains the eastern boundary runs almost straight north
to the mouth of the Crooked River, and from there east to the Mud Springs
area east of Grizzly. The northern boundary rims west from the Mud Springs
area, crosses the Deschutes River at Mecca and continues on the divide
between Shitike Creek and the Warm Springs River.
All major streams in this sub-basin, with the exception of Willow
Creek, originate in the Cascade Mountains. Major tributaries from the west
are Squaw Creek, Metolius River and Shitike Creek. There are about 910 miles
of streams in the sub-basin, of which only 330 miles are perennial in nature.
These figures include 85 miles of the Deschutes main stem (3b miles of which
are in Jefferson County), Ll miles of Squaw Creek (with 8 miles in Jefferson
County, ti miles of the Metolius River and 33 miles of Shitike Creek. The
gradient of the Deschutes River in the county area is about 13 feet per mile.
throughout its course.
The annual yield of the Deschutes River near Culver is about
800,200 acre-feet. At the Madras gauge, the annual yield jumps to an
- 18 -
average of 3,3141,000 acre-feet which is primarily' due to the contribution
of the two major tributaries, the Netolius and Crooked Rivers
Records
show the annual yield of the Metolius River near Grandview as averaging
1,065,090 acre-feet. This gauge is about 12 miles from the mouth of the
river, so the yield at the mouth would be higher
Average annual yield
for the Shitike Creek at Warm Springs is recorded at 814,100 acre-feet.
Many rural households in the area obtain their domestic and stock
water from irrigation ditches, but such use of irrigation water is not
recorded as water rights other than irrigation water rights.
Consequently', an accurate count of surface water actually used for domestic purposes
is not available. Individual water rights filed specifically' for domestic
purposes total only six cfs for the whole sub-basin
The only' rural water district, the ]Jeschutes Valley' Water District,
is in the Madras area and supplies domestic water to farms within the North
Unit Irrigation District and municipal water to the towns of Culver and
Metolius and, in times of high demand, to Madras. Water is pumped from
Opal Springs in the Crooked River Cany'on. Opal Springs have an average
discharge of 223 cfs. The Deschutes Valley Water District holds a right
of 5 cfs (3 23 million gallons per day) of this total, however the Opal
Springs pump station has only a capacity of 1,000 gpm (1 1414 million gallons
per day)
The average output, serving 1,030 service connections is
1450,000 gpd.
The city of Madras holds a water right for 213,000 gpd (0 33 cfs)
from a 1400-foot well and 3.36 million gallons per day' (5.2 cfs) from
Round Butte Springs, the latter right not being used presently.
The well
has a current average annual output of 23.8 million gallons (65,00o gpd.).
In times of high usage, water is also obtained from the Deschutes Valley
Water District.
The city also holds a right granting 1 cfs (650,000 gpd)
from the North Unit Main Irrigation Canal, which is less than the 720,000
gpd capacity' of the treatment plant.
The macLmum capacity of the city
water system is 2,000,000 gpd and the average output is 2714,000 gpd. The
towns of Culver and Metolius are supplies by the Deschutes Valley Water
Springs from Opal Springs as discussadabove.
Irrigation water rights are by1far the largest group of water rights
in the sub-basin
They total 3,505_I cfs for the irrigation of 135,636
acres from surface water supplies. The only' irrigation project in Jefferson County is the North Unit Irrigation District. This district has water
rights for 50,000 acres from storage in Wickiup Reservoir. There is
another water right for a reservoir within Jefferson County', a right for
5,000 acre-feet in Haystack Equalizing Reservoir.
Includes rights other than thOse supplied directly' by streams and creeks.

The Lower Crooked River Sub-Basin includes all the drainage area of
the Crooked River below mile 66, Hoffman Dam, to its mouth. This sub-basin
contains 1,657 square miles, of which 5 percent are located in Jefferson
County.
The Crooked River is deeply entrenched in a canyon for all the 22
miles of its course through Jefferson County. This canyon reaches a depth
of almost 1,000 feet. There are no other streams in the area besides the
Crooked River.
The yield of the Crooked River near Culver averages about 1,123,000
acre-feet per year. In the lower Crooked River Canyon there are many springs
which contribute a very uniform amount of about 700,000 acre-feet annually.
Due to the depth of the canyon, it is not economically feasible to
pump water onto the higher plateau for irrigation use. The only water rights
on the Crooked River in Jefferson County are rights for power production
which total 1,9147.0 cfs.
The eastern-most part of Jefferson County is located in the Lower
John Day River Sub-Basin, and the area involved is 177 square miles,
9.9
percent of the County area, or 5.14percent of the sub-basin. The only
streams in the area are Currant Creek, Muddy Creek and Cherry Creek in
addition to several little creeks which dry up during the sunmter. The
John Day River itself forms the eastern boundary of the county for about
eight miles of its course.
There are no towns in the area and no power generating use is recorded
The only water use recorded is for irrigation. There are

the county that year
The minerals produced in the order of value are
stone, sand and gravel, and pumice.
Wildlife
The fish and wildlife in Central Oregon are a very' important resource.
Many' sportsmen are attracted each year to the excellent fishing in the many'
lakes and streams, and in the fall thousands of hunters visit the forests

Jefferson County has excellent populations of muledeer, and limited
number of blacktail deer and Rocky Mountain elk
Mule deer have shown a
steady increase in population due to larger areas of improved habitat
created by logging operations, and due to a great reduction of predators.
The population of mule and blacktail deer in the Deschutes National Forest
was estimated at 1,200 in 192)4 and 62,000 in 1960.
The following data was compiled by Big Game Management Unit, as defined by the Oregon State Game Commission
There are three such units in
Jefferson County':
the Metolius area in the southwest part of the county'
with some land area in Deschutes County, the Grizzly area in the eastern
part with about )4O percent of its area in Crook County, and the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation contained about half within Jefferson County
A small area of the county' is also located in the Maupin Management Unit.
The Warm Springs Indian Reservation is excluded from the control by the
State Game Commission, thus no data is available for that area.
