About this map

Elgin sits at the heart of Indian Valley, where the Grande Ronde River winds through a landscape defined by deep canyons and prominent ridges. The town's grid is clearly detailed, showing residential streets like Detroit St and Baltimore St alongside municipal features such as the Elgin-Mill Wastewater Lagoon. The surrounding terrain transitions from the agricultural flats of Parkers Flat to the rising elevations of the Umatilla National Forest and South Mtn.

Genealogical researchers will find the Elgin Cem and Galloway Cem documented near established travel routes like Elgin Cemetery Rd. The map also captures the area's rural infrastructure, from the Hulse Airstrip and Merritt Reservoir to family-named landmarks like Boly Bluff and Jones Butte. The numerous springs and creeks, including Phillips Cr and Indian Cr, illustrate the complex drainage system feeding into the Grande Ronde valley.
