2011 Map of Bowlus Hill

About this map

Bowlus Hill stands as a prominent topographical feature in this northern Oregon landscape, where the high country transitions toward the river valleys near the State Line. The small settlement of Spofford remains a notable point of reference along Spofford Rd, serving a region defined by agricultural water management and rugged drainage patterns. The convergence of the Walla Walla River and the North Fork Walla Walla River dictates the local infrastructure, evidenced by landmarks such as the Joe West Bridge and Dorothy Bridge. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Bowlus Cemetery tucked between Powerline Rd and Hood Rd, while the presence of the Milton Ditch and Dorothy Ditch illustrates the long-standing reliance on irrigation systems to support the surrounding hollows, including Pumpkin Hollow and Cash Hollow.
