About this map

The agricultural and water-management patterns of the Powder Valley define this landscape on the border of Union and Baker counties. The town of Haines serves as the central hub, surrounded by a complex network of irrigation features and natural waterways including the North Powder River and the braided channels of Baldock Slough. Small settlements and family-named locales like Hutchinson and Christensen are connected by a grid of rural routes such as Neill Peck Road and Talley-Dobbins Road.

Evidence of the region's ranching culture and community infrastructure is visible through the Rodeo Grounds and Haines Cemetery. To the west, the terrain rises toward Hutchinson Hill, while the lowlands are marked by numerous sloughs and ponds, such as Haines Pond No 1 and North Powder Pond No 2. These features, alongside several quarries and gravel pits, illustrate the local economy's reliance on the valley's natural resources and the managed flow of the Powder River.
