2020 Map of Franklin Hill

About this map

Franklin Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Umatilla County, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and upland ridges. The terrain is deeply incised by named geographic features such as Matlock Canyon, Cunha Canyon, and the curiously named Dry Hog Hollow. To the northeast, the waters of Butter Cr flow through the territory, paralleled by the primary thoroughfare of Butter Creek Rd. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region along the boundary between Morrow and Umatilla Counties. Transportation across these heights relies on established routes like Huges-Hirl Rd and Hisler Rd, which navigate the various gaps and basins including Buttermilk Canyon, Cunningham Canyon, and Nelson Canyon. The map provides a precise view of the topography and land management divisions of this high-plateau environment in the early twenty-first century.
