About this map

Arlington sits at the northern edge of the Columbia Plateau, where the high desert terrain of Oregon meets the wide expanse of the Columbia River. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river's edge at Lake Umatilla to the elevated plateaus of Hurlburt Flats. The town's layout is centered around local arteries like Main St and Cottonwood St, while the Arlington Municipal Airport occupies the bench land above the community.

Across the water in Washington, the small settlement of Roosevelt connects back to its history via Roosevelt Ferry Rd, a name recalling the era when water crossings were more than just bridges. The topography south of town is carved by seasonal drainage features such as China Ditch and No Name Cr, illustrating the complex irrigation and natural runoff patterns that have shaped this dry agricultural region. The Arlington Masonic Cem stands as a quiet record of the local families who established these communities along the river corridor.
