2011 Map of Franklin Hill

About this map

Franklin Hill serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of Umatilla County, where the high desert landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems and canyons. The map tracks the passage of Butter Creek as it moves through the terrain, joined by significant geological depressions like Spring Hollow and Buttermilk Canyon. This 2011 survey reflects a sparsely populated area where human infrastructure is limited to essential connectors like Hisler Rd, emphasizing the pastoral and remote character of the region. The relationship between the upland plateaus and the deep incisions of Cunningham Cyn highlights the erosive patterns that have shaped this portion of the Oregon interior.
