2017 Map of Clarke

About this map

Clarke sits at the intersection of a network of roads and water management features in this part of Morrow County. The landscape is defined by its irrigation infrastructure, most notably the W Extension Irrigation Canal and Boardman Canal Rd, which support the agricultural viability of this dry Oregon terrain. Natural water sources like Upper Sand Spring, Lower Sand Spring, and Coyote Spring are scattered across the township, marking the essential hydrology that predates modern diversion projects. The grid of service and access roads, including Paterson Ferry Rd and the heavily named Bombing Range Rd along the western edge, illustrates a late-20th-century transition toward organized land management and regional connectivity in the Columbia Basin region.
