About this map

North Fork Cold Springs Canyon, along with the Middle and South Forks, defines the drainage patterns of this Umatilla County landscape in the mid-1960s. The area is characterized by a network of deep-cut canyons and elevated plateaus, where small community landmarks like Kings Corner and two separate locations of Grange Hall appear as primary social and navigational nodes. These halls often served as the center of rural life for local farmers during this era. Evidence of early industry or road-building material is found at a Quarry near the South Fork Cold Springs Canyon, while the southwest corner is marked by the topographical feature of Missouri Gulch. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural or grazing environment, indicated by the extensive network of fence lines that cross the terrain between these canyons.
