Jefferson County elevation and terrain tools
Central Oregon • County seat: Madras
Jefferson County stretches from the Cascade crest at Mount Jefferson east across the lava plateau around Madras. The Deschutes, Crooked and Metolius rivers cut deep canyons into the plateau where they meet at Lake Billy Chinook.

Lidar projects that cover Madras, from the USGS 3DEP index and DOGAMI’s project records. Other parts of the county may come from other projects; the coverage guide explains how to check any spot.
Coverage details are temporarily unavailable.
Property boundaries
The county assessor’s parcel service for Jefferson County is not available in the Property tool yet, so taxlots cannot be selected here. Draw your area on the map instead; the parcel lines overlay still shows taxlot lines.
