2023 Map of Cabbage Hill

About this map

Old Oregon Trl traces the path of western migration across this landscape, where the modern interstate now winds through the prominent heights of Cabbage Hill and Emigrant Hill. This terrain is defined by steep drainages and ridge lines, including the notable Deadman Pass and the elevated plateau of Table Land. The hydrography of the region is centered on the North Fork Mckay Creek system, with numerous seasonal tributaries such as Bell Cow Creek and Calamity Creek carving through deep canyons like Doe Canyon. Local transportation is marked by county routes such as Kanine Ridge Rd and Palmer Rd, which serve the high country between Red Hawk Gulch and the headwaters of Mission Creek. The map provides a look at the contemporary state of this high-elevation pass, showing the intersection of historic travel corridors and current land management in the Umatilla region.
