2014 Map of Juniper Canyon

About this map

The Columbia River and Lake Wallula define the northwestern corner of this territory, where the state boundary between Washington and Oregon meets the line separating Benton and Umatilla counties. This landscape is characterized by a complex network of drainages cutting through the high plateau, including the expansive Juniper Canyon system and its north and south forks. Farther south, McCall Canyon and North Fork Cold Springs Canyon carve into the terrain, reflecting the arid geography of the region. Local transportation is facilitated by rural routes such as Wallula Rd and Hartle Rd, while the presence of Badger Springs suggests a critical water source in an otherwise dry environment. The mapping reveals a sparse settlement pattern dominated by the natural topography of these intersecting canyon systems and the broad waterway of the Columbia.
