About this map

Holdman and Stage Gulch anchor this rural landscape in northeastern Oregon, where the terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the converging branches of South Fork Cold Springs Canyon, Middle Fork Cold Springs Canyon, and North Fork Cold Springs Canyon. These canyons dictate the local road network, with Or-37 winding through the topography alongside Cold Springs Canyon.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of local burial sites, specifically the Holdman Cem and Despain Gulch Cem. The map illustrates a high-desert environment where agriculture and passage are shaped by features like Missouri Gulch and Despain Gulch. These natural landmarks, coupled with family-named routes such as Yoakum Rd and Weidert Rd, provide a clear picture of land division and settlement patterns in Umatilla County during the early 21st century.
