About this map

North Fork Cold Springs Canyon and the surrounding drainage systems dominate this Umatilla County landscape, revealing the complex topography of the Columbia Plateau south of the Walla Walla River. The network of canyons, including the Middle Fork Cold Springs Canyon and South Fork Cold Springs Canyon, creates a deeply etched terrain where agricultural life follows the natural contours. The transition between the high plateaus and the lower gulches is marked by a grid of rural routes like Kings Corner Rd and S Cold Springs Rd, which provide access to isolated farmsteads and field systems. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Missouri Gulch and Despain Gulch areas, illustrating the reliance on local watercourses for historical land division and development in this semi-arid region of eastern Oregon.
