About this map

Cove sits at the foot of the mountains where the Grande Ronde Valley meets the eastern slopes of the Whitman National Forest. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by its water resources and agricultural infrastructure, from the Elmers Reservoir system in the northwest to the complex irrigation network of Catherine Cr Highline Canal and Phys Slough in the southwest. The town's geothermal character is anchored by Cove Hot Springs, while its civic history is represented by the centrally located Cove Cem.

The transition from valley floor to upland is marked by many named watercourses, including Catherine Creek, Mill Cr, and Duncan Cr, which drain the forested heights. To the south, High Valley provides a distinct geographical pocket near the foothills. The rural road network, featuring family-named routes such as Chadwick Ln and Haefer Ln, reflects the longstanding ranching and farming heritage of this Union County community, supported by the Cove Side Ranch Port Airport.
