1994 Map of Emerson

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Deschutes River carves a deep path through the high plateau of the Columbia River Basin on this survey, marking the boundary between Wasco and Sherman Counties. The landscape is dominated by complex terrain including Fulton Ridge and Gordon Ridge, which are dissected by numerous drainages like Gordon Canyon and Mud Springs Canyon. Evidence of rural community life is anchored by the Douglas Hollow School and the Free Bridge Historical Site, indicating the historical significance of river crossings and local education in this dry agricultural region. Sparse settlements such as Emerson and Wrentham are connected by a network of local routes like Wrentham Road and Emerson Road. The presence of several storage bins and a grain elevator near Standard Hollow underscores the area's reliance on dryland wheat farming and grain production at the close of the twentieth century.
