2014 Map of Cricket Flat

About this map

Highland Cem and Pine Grove Cem anchor the social history of this upland plateau in northeastern Oregon. The landscape is defined by the high, flat ground of Cricket Flat, which sits above the dramatic incisions of Duncan Canyon and Rysdam Canyon. Transport across this terrain is marked by Or-82, winding toward Minam Summit and the descent of Minam Hill. Water management is evident through a series of numbered reservoirs including Waller Reservoir 6 and Waller Reservoir 4, supporting the agricultural life of the flats. The map details a network of family-named roads like Henderson Rd and Hindman Rd, tracing the distribution of homesteads and land use between the creek drainages of North Fork Clark Cr and Shaw Cr.
