1994 Map of La Grande

About this map

The Grande Ronde Valley serves as the backdrop for this mid-1990s look at La Grande, where the Union Pacific railroad and Grande Ronde River converge. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing the campus of Eastern Oregon State College, the Grande Ronde Hospital, and several local education centers like Riveria Sch and Greenwood Sch. To the southeast, the landscape transitions into the expansive Ladd Marsh Game Management Area, a significant wetland complex marked by Ladd Marsh and Gekeler Slough. Cultural and genealogical landmarks are prominent, including Ackles Cem, Island City Cem, and Hillcrest Cem. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, from the La Grande Airport to the Drive-in Theater and the La Grande Ranger Station, illustrating a hub of commerce and conservation in Union County.
