2020 Map of Echo SW

About this map

Butter Cr winds through the high desert of Umatilla County, carving a narrow drainage through the expansive rangelands of north-central Oregon. This 2020 survey illustrates the deeply incised terrain south of Echo, characterized by a series of prominent canyons and gulches. Significant topographical features include Alkali Canyon and Cunningham Canyon, which define the drainage patterns across the landscape. The map details the transition across several townships, including t2n r29e, and documents the sparse transportation network that serves this rural area. Local transit is confined primarily to routes like Whitehouse Rd and Big Butter Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors and ridges. This modern topographic record captures the enduring geography of the Columbia Basin plateau, where agriculture and livestock grazing remain the primary land uses.
