About this map

The Grande Ronde River meanders through this portion of the Grande Ronde Valley, defining a landscape of intensive agriculture and small-town junctions in the mid-1960s. The Union Pacific railroad acts as a primary corridor through the valley floor, connecting the agricultural hubs of Imbler and Alicel. To the west, the settlement of Summerville sits near a local Mill on Willow Creek, while the eastern horizon is dominated by the steep ascent of Mount Harris.

Land use patterns are clearly visible through an extensive network of named local roads such as Sand Ridge Road and Courtney Lane, which partition the valley into productive tracts. The engineered path of the State Ditch suggests significant local efforts to manage the river's hydrology for farming. For those researching local history, the Summerville-Imbler Cem and various survey markers like Imbler North Base provide specific geographic points for genealogical and land-title study.
