About this map

Arlington, Oregon, and Roosevelt, Washington, face each other across the expanse of Lake Umatilla, where the Columbia River marks the state boundary between Gilliam and Klickitat counties. The local geography is defined by deep incisions in the plateau, such as Alkali Canyon and Jones Canyon, which lead down to the riverfront. The town of Arlington is organized around a traditional street grid including Cottonwood ST and Main ST, with the Arlington Masonic Cem situated on the western slopes overlooking the town.

Away from the water, the landscape transitions to the high, dry reaches of Hurlburt Flats and the drainage systems of Noose Cr and W Fork Shutler Cr. Historical water management is evident at China Ditch in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation infrastructure like Roosevelt Ferry Rd and the Arlington Municipal Airport highlights the region's role as a transit corridor connecting the rural interior to the river valley.
