It makes Bend one of three cities in the continental U.S. to have an extinct volcano within its city limits. Old Bend 1110000 SW Century Dr Century SW SE 15th St SW Simpson Ave Old Mill District The Old Mill District is a vibrant area of shopping, dining, and entertainment located in the heart of the city. It was originally a massive Brooks-Scanlon sawmill complex that began lumber production in 1916. The mill was open and active until 1994. er iv s R Reed Market Rd ute Desch Broken Top Club 840000 ¤£97 830000 Bend Parkway 1070000 Tetherow Golf Club Bend Golf & Country Club SW Century Dr 830000 China Hat Rd Knott Rd 820000 r e v i R s e t u h c s e D Widgi Golf Club Lost Track Golf Club Baker Lake Seventh Mountain Resort Assuming a paved road 24 feet wide and 6 inches thick, there is enough rock in the 820000 flow to pave 160,000 miles of road. This is equivalent to a paved road circling the world six and a half times. BURLINGTON NORTHERN ¤£97 Lava Island Falls ^_ 810000 Dillon Falls ^_ High Desert The volume of rock in the Lava Butte Lava Flow Museum is 380,000,000 cubic yards. The flow spilled into ^_ the Deschutes River forming lava dams in some places and shoving the river westward out of its channel in others. 810000 NEWBERRY NATIONAL Benham Falls ^_ VOLCANIC MONUMENT The long straight cliffs that run diagonally across the 800000 map are fault scarps. Fault scarps form when a fault moves during a strong earthquake, and one side rises a few feet above the other. These scarps are the result of dozens of earthquakes that have occurred over the last 100,000 years or more. One fault runs directly beneath Lava Butte and probably served as a path for the rising magma that fed the Lava Butte eruption. 800000 790000 Lava Butte Deschutes River Elevation: 5,970 ft. N¸ Two miles of railroad grade across the Lava Butte lava flow were constructed in late 1931 during a two month period. The first train used the new section of railroad on April 7, 1932. Burlington Northern continues to use this railroad today. The Lava Butte cinder cone erupted 7,000 years ago and covered over nine square miles with lava. The butte offers a panoramic view of central Oregon, including a spectacular view of the Cascade Range and the northwest flank of Newberry.
