About this map

Arlington sits at the confluence of the high desert and the Columbia River, serving as a vital transportation hub along the northern border of Gilliam County. This modern survey illustrates the town's position between the John Day Hwy and the river, where the Lake Umatilla reservoir dominates the northern landscape. Local history and culture are anchored at the Arlington Rodeo Grounds and the Arlington Masonic Cem, while the industrial and logistics character of the region is evidenced by the Arlington Municipal Airport.

The rugged drainage patterns of the Columbia Plateau are clearly etched into the terrain, from Alkali Canyon near the town center to the long reach of China Ditch extending south. Across the state line in Washington, the settlement of Roosevelt marks the northern shore. These features, combined with family-named landmarks like Hurlburt Flats, reveal the enduring relationship between the agricultural uplands and the river-level settlements of the Pacific Northwest.
