About this map

The Umatilla River valley defines this part of Umatilla County, where the settlement of Rieth sits at the confluence with Birch Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the river's winding path and the transport corridors that follow its banks, such as Reith Rd and the rail-aligned L and W Ln. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of Rieth Ridge and the deep incision of Coombs Canyon to the south.

Dryland farming and ranching access is documented through a network of rural routes including Peebler Rd and Yoakum Rd crossing the northern uplands. Long drainage features like Stage Gulch cut through the plateau, influencing the placement of historical through-roads like Stage Gulch Rd. This map provides a contemporary record of land divisions across Township 2 and 3 North, preserving the names of local landmarks and family-named roads for researchers.
