2011 Map of Milton-Freewater

About this map

Milton-Freewater and its surrounding agricultural valley are defined by a complex irrigation network of canals and creeks in this 2011 survey. The landscape is etched with historical water management features like the Hudson Bay Canal, Milton Ditch, and Pleasant View Canal, which support local production such as Davis Orchards. Smaller settlements like Ferndale, Crockett, and Umapine dot the region, connected by a dense grid of rural roads named for local families. Genealogists can locate several burial sites, including Ford Cemetery and Old City Cemetery. The transit history of the area is noted at the W. W. V. Ry. Crossing, while the southern reaches rise toward Milton Hill and the seasonal drainages of Dry Hollow.
