About this map

Athena and Weston serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and highland landscape of Umatilla County. The transition from the flat, cultivated fields surrounding Wildhorse Creek to the steep rises of Weston Mtn and Reed and Hawley Mtn dominates the eastern half of the map. This area is heavily defined by its drainage systems, including Pine Creek, Dry Creek, and the curiously named Earthquake Spring.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the township grids, which include the Weston Cem and Key Cem near Kee's Cemetery Rd. The map also traces various named routes such as La Marr Gulch and Waterman Gulch, alongside infrastructure like the Poplar Springs Reservoir. These features illustrate a landscape shaped by water management and rural settlement at the base of the Blue Mountains foothills.
