2023 Map of Gibbon

About this map

The small settlement of Gibbon sits at the confluence of the Umatilla River and Meacham Creek, marking a critical point of low-elevation drainage amidst a complex system of high ridges. The landscape is defined by the sharp, naming conventions of early settlers and surveyors, seen in evocative features like Starve-to-Death Ridge and Plenty Bear Ridge. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the map fall within the Umatilla National Forest, where steep terrain includes Stumbough Ridge and Rattlesnake Ridge.
