1962 Map of Juniper

About this map

Lake Wallula dominates this reach of the Columbia River, where the state line divides Washington and Oregon. This stretch is a critical transportation corridor, defined by the parallel tracks of the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad on the northern bank and the Union Pacific line to the south. The small settlement of Juniper sits along the southern shore, positioned near the mouth of Juniper Canyon. The surrounding terrain is marked by deep coulees like Switzer Canyon and Cold Springs Canyon, which cut through the high plateau. Infrastructure such as a Substation, Storage Bins, and a remote Landing Strip reflect the logistical and agricultural character of Umatilla County in the early 1960s. Historical traces like a Jeep Trail and the Pipeline offer insight into the mid-century development of this arid river landscape.
