2017 Map of Athena

About this map

Athena and Weston serve as the primary hubs of this Umatilla County landscape, where the flatlands of the Walla Walla Valley meet the rising slopes of Weston Mountain. The map shows a transition from structured town grids to the drainage networks of Wildhorse Creek and Pine Creek. Local history is anchored by the Weston Cemetery and Kee Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Reed and Hawley Mountain. Agricultural and water infrastructure is evident through features such as Poplar Springs Reservoir and various named canyons including Dry Hollow and La Marr Gulch. The road network connects these settlements via historical routes like Main Street and Banister Road, illustrating the ongoing development of this region's rural and small-town character.
