About this map

Grande Ronde Valley defines this agricultural and hydrological landscape in Union County, where an intricate network of waterways manages the valley floor. The Grande Ronde River and Catherine Cr dominate the natural drainage, supplemented by a complex system of human-engineered features like State Ditch, McAlister Ditch, and Gekeler Slough. This intersection of natural river bends and straightened channels reflects over a century of water management for local ranching and farming operations.

Near the settlement of Conley, the terrain is relatively level, punctuated by Conley Lake and various sloughs such as Pierce Slough and Spring Slough. Transportation infrastructure is anchored by Or-237 and Or-82, while the La Grande/Union County Airport occupies a significant footprint in the southwestern portion of the map. Local history is traced through family-named roads like Sandridge Rd, Anson Rd, and Gekeler Ln, which delineate the section-line grid of the surrounding townships.
