2023 Map of Coombs Canyon

About this map

Coombs Canyon cuts through the high plateau of Umatilla County, revealing a landscape defined by sharp drainage patterns and remote upland access. The terrain is marked by essential water sources like Crazy John Spring, a critical landmark for local land use in this arid portion of eastern Oregon. A network of rural arteries, including Speare Canyon Rd and Redwine Rd, follows the natural contours of the ridges and draws, reflecting the area's history of ranching and territorial management. The map also delineates the complex Public Land Survey System boundaries, showing where townships like t1n r31e and t2n r31e meet. These named roads, such as Hoeft Rd and Winget Rd, often trace original property lines and early homestead access routes that have persisted into the modern era.
