Why the stamp was issued: To honor the 50th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act which established a system of over 200 rivers in 40 states and Puerto Rico as of 2019.
About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph of a section of the Deschutes River which is protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at Tumalo State Park in Bend, Oregon. The Deschutes River runs through the park, one of the over 200 rivers protected by the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
History the stamp represents: Oregon is home to nearly 60 National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the most of any state. One of these is the Deschutes River. This river begins at Little Lava Lake in the Cascade Mountains and flows over 252 miles before emptying into the Columbia River. The Deschutes is one of the Columbia’s main tributaries.
Thousands of years ago, the Deschutes River played an important role in early Native American life. It provided them with fish to eat and a path back and forth to the larger Columbia River. Considering the rough terrain of central Oregon, the Deschutes River made travel by boat much easier than on foot.
Today, the way we make use of the Deschutes River has increased tremendously. Dams generate hydroelectric power, providing electricity to nearby communities. Canals and irrigation ditches water crops for miles around. Conservation agencies help minimize and reverse any negative impacts these structures have on the health of the river.
Assuring long-term survival of the Deschutes River means making sure everyone knows the river’s worth. This is achieved by a number of volunteers and nature enthusiasts. They show off the recreational opportunities and economic value of the Deschutes and help keep visitors coming back year after year.
