2017 Map of Echo SW

About this map

Butter Cr flows through the center of this landscape, carving a path between the high plateaus of Umatilla and Morrow counties. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including Cunningham Canyon and Slusher Canyon to the west, and Alkali Canyon and Dixie Canyon to the east. Transportation through this rural corridor relies on a network of primitive and local routes such as Big Butter Creek Rd and Whitehouse Rd, which follow the natural contours of the gulches and ridges. The map illustrates a transitional geography where agricultural access roads meet the steep topography of Spikes Gulch, showing the persistent influence of water and elevation on the region's land use and movement patterns.
