About this map

Cove is situated at the dramatic base of the Whitman National Forest, where the forested slopes of the Blue Mountains meet the fertile Grande Ronde Valley. This survey captures the rural infrastructure supporting the region's agricultural and geothermal assets, most notably the Cove Hot Springs and the complex irrigation system including the Catherine Cr Highline Canal. The landscape is a network of family-named roads and water features, from the Grande Ronde River in the northwest to the secluded residential pocket of High Valley in the south.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of the Cove Cem and specialized transportation markers like the Cove Side Ranch Port Airport. The transition from the valley floor to the timbered heights is marked by several minor tributaries including Bobington Br, Millard Br, and Duncan Cr, while landmarks like Phys Point provide distinct geographic orientation within the valley.
