About this map

Holdman serves as the focal point of this rural Umatilla County landscape, where the plateau is deeply incised by a series of dramatic canyons and gulches. The terrain is defined by the converging branches of Cold Springs Canyon, including the South Fork, Middle Fork, and North Fork. These geographic features dictate the local road network, with routes like S Cold Springs Rd and Bissinger Rd navigating the high ground between drainages.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Holdman Cem and Despain Gulch Cem, which anchor the history of early families in the area. The map also traces long-established transportation corridors such as Stage Gulch Rd and Simpson Rd, illustrating how the agricultural and ranching infrastructure follows the natural contours of Missouri Gulch and Despain Gulch.
