About this map

Cricket Flat and the surrounding high country of Union County are defined by a complex network of drainage basins and family-named landmarks. The landscape is dominated by the upper reaches of Clark Creek, with its North Fork and Middle Fork carving through the terrain south of Elk Flat. Historical land use is evident in the series of upland water resources, including Waller Reservoir 6, Waller Reservoir 4, and Waller Reservoir 3 located near the northeastern heights of Minam Summit.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landholdings through a dense grid of rural roads, such as Parson-Hug Rd, Parks Roulet Rd, and Crum-Hardy Rd. Centrally located, the Highland Cemetery serves as a primary point of interest for family researchers. The topography rises sharply to the east toward Stubblefield Mountain and Minam Hill, marking the transition between the agricultural flats and the more varied elevations of the Oregon interior.
