2014 Map of Dalreed Butte

About this map

The high plateau of the Columbia River Basin defines this section of the Oregon interior, where the border between Gilliam Co and Morrow Co follows the local topography. The landscape is dominated by Dalreed Butte, a prominent landmark rising above the surrounding drainage systems. Much of the local geography revolves around the movement of water through this arid terrain, with the winding course of Willow Creek and the man-made Ewing Ditch serving as critical infrastructure for the region's agricultural life. Local road names like Immigrant Ln and Taggares Ln reflect the area's history of movement and land use, while Schoolhouse Canyon suggests the former sites of early rural community centers. State Route Or-74 provides the primary transit artery through the canyon floors, connecting these remote agricultural sections.
