About this map

McKay Reservoir serves as a central geographic anchor for this part of Umatilla County, north of the settlement at Pilot Rock. This 2014 survey details a landscape where water management and transportation corridors, specifically Us 395, dictate the local geography. The reservoir's eastern shore is defined by the McKay Creek North Boat Ramp and nearby Green Meadows, illustrating the area's development for recreation and residential use alongside traditional land uses.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks mapped, including the McKay Creek Cem and Skyview Memorial Park situated along the highway. The surrounding terrain is heavily dissected by drainages like Birch Cr, Tutuilla Cr, and South Coyote Cr, which carve through features such as George Canyon and Spring Hollow. Large land divisions like Stewart Bench emphasize the agricultural and ranching character of the high desert plateau leading toward the northern foothills.
