2017 Map of Milton-Freewater

About this map

The Milton-Freewater hub and its surrounding agricultural satellite communities define this portion of the Walla Walla Valley. This modern survey illustrates a complex landscape of water management and rural settlement, where historic irrigation works like the Hudson Bay Canal, Pleasant View Canal, and Milton Ditch support the region's productive orchards and fields. Smaller named locales such as Ferndale, Sunnyside, Cobb, and Crockett are threaded along the various forks of the Walla Walla River, demonstrating the density of the valley's late 20th and early 21st-century rural development. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly from the irrigated valley floor into the steep draws of Dry Hollow and Nichols Canyon, revealing the stark contrast between the managed river corridor and the high basalt plateau edges. Aviation history is noted by the presence of King's Airport and the Oregon Sky Ranch Airport.
