2014 Map of Hoodlum Canyon

About this map

Butter Cr and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this high-elevation landscape along the border of Morrow and Umatilla Counties. The topography is deeply incised by a series of prominent canyons and gulches, including the namesake Hoodlum Canyon and the branching Fingers Canyon. A sparse network of local thoroughfares such as French Ln, Hissler Rd, and Little Butter Creek Rd provides access to these remote uplands, which are primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t3s r29e. The map illustrates a rural environment where water is the primary architect of the land, visible in the way Gurdane Cr and Johnson Cr carve through the terrain near Bear Claw Canyon.
