About this map

Meacham is the primary settlement on this Umatilla County landscape, serving as a focal point where the modern thoroughfares meet the historic path of the Old Oregon Trl. The area is characterized by a series of prominent high points, including Telephone Ridge, Gibbon Ridge, and Light Ridge, which separate various drainage systems like Isquulktpe Cr and Meacham Cr. This high-altitude terrain is largely contained within the Umatilla National Forest, reflecting a geography defined by its timber and watershed value.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Meacham Cem, located south of the main township near the junction of College St and Main St. The map illustrates the convergence of small local roads, such as Deadman Ln and Huckleberry Ln, as they navigate the steep descents into Bachelor Canyon and the surrounding draws, providing a clear view of the modern infrastructure overlaid on this traditional mountain pass.
