About this map

The Union settlement and its surrounding agricultural landscape dominate this study of northeastern Oregon’s high country. Situated at the edge of the Grande Ronde Valley, the area is defined by the dramatic rise of Craig Mountain, which separates the valley floor from the western Ladd Canyon. Water management is central to the local geography, visible through engineered features like the Grout Ditch and Scott Ditch that traverse the Clover Creek Valley.

To the north, the Hot Lake area and Hot Lake Reservoir mark a distinct hydrological zone near the Ladd Cr drainage. Significant transportation routes, including the Oregon Trail Rd, follow the natural contours of the land, reflecting deep-rooted historical pathways through the region. The map also captures small water bodies like Vogel Pond and Pond Slough, alongside numerous named springs such as Kaylor Spring and Thompson Spring that dot the slopes.
