About this map

The Umatilla River serves as the central artery for this region of the Columbia Basin, where an intricate network of irrigation projects defines the landscape. The sheer density of water management features, including the Westland A Canal, Maxwell Canal, and Feed Canal, underscores the importance of the Oregon State University Agriculture Experiment Station to the local economy. In the northern reaches of the map, the city of Hermiston expanded around landmarks like Hermiston Butte and the Hermiston Cemetery.

To the south and west, the terrain shifts into the open spaces of Umatilla Meadows and Emigrant Buttes. This area is marked by significant transportation and military infrastructure, including the rail facilities at Hinkle and the presence of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Small settlements like Bucks Corners and educational hubs like Blue Mountain Community College provide further evidence of the region's mid-century growth and modern institutional footprint.
