About this map

Holdman and its surrounding canyonlands in Umatilla County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and local farm roads. The landscape is deeply incised by Cold Springs Canyon and its many branches, including Middle Fork Cold Springs Canyon and South Fork Cold Springs Canyon. These geographic features dictate the winding paths of rural routes like S Cold Springs Rd and Bissinger Rd, which serve the high plateaus between the gulches.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Holdman Cem and the more isolated Despain Gulch Cem, situated near Despain Gulch. The map also traces historical transport corridors such as Stage Gulch Rd through Stage Gulch, illustrating the enduring agricultural patterns of the region. The varied terrain of Missouri Gulch further highlights the difficulty of traversing this part of the Columbia Plateau.
