2017 Map of Ella

About this map

Ella sits along the southern edge of this landscape in Morrow County, where the high desert terrain of eastern Oregon transitions into a network of drainages and technical land management. The presence of Carty Reservoir dominates the central portion of the map, a significant water body situated between Poverty Ridge and the deep incisions of Fourmile Canyon. The naming of local routes like Immigrant Ln and Tower Rd reflects the intersection of historical transit corridors and the modern infrastructure required to service this arid region. The geography is further defined by prominent volcanic features such as Lone Butte, which rises above the surrounding plains. This survey provides a clear view of the complex irrigation and water storage patterns essential to the area's agricultural and industrial utility near the turn of the 21st century.
