The site of the old saw mill, of which only the foundations still exist because of a fire, can the seen on the edge of town. Dee is characterized predominantly by pear orchards dotted with farm houses about every 1/2 mile. The community is situated atop a small plateau unique in the immediate vicinity, with unobstructed views of Mount Hood from nearly every household or building.
