About this map

Boardman sits at the heart of this Columbia River landscape, where the intersection of water management and modern transportation defines the community. The town is flanked by historic resting places including Riverview Cem and Boardman Cem, while the northern boundary is dominated by the North Channel Columbia River and the expansive waters of Lake Umatilla. The map reveals the intricate network of range markers such as the Messinger Lower Range and Messinger Middle Range, which guide navigation through this vital river corridor.

Agricultural and natural features converge south of the river, where the W Extension Irrigation Canal and Boardman Canal Rd serve the surrounding plains. The terrain transitions from the wetland environment of Messner Marsh and the reliable waters of Coyote Spring to the more arid breaks of Juniper Canyon. Along the river's edge, the Umatilla Heritage Spur Trail follows the shoreline, preserving a path through an area shaped by both the natural flow of the Columbia and the industrial development along Industrial Way.
