About this map

The Umatilla River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this region of eastern Oregon, where the city of Pendleton expands into the surrounding plateaus. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several drainages, including Wildhorse Cr from the north and Patawa Cr from the south, cutting through the high country. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the community of Mission and the plateau known as Gopher Flats.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Saint Andrews Mission Cem and the Old Agency Cem, which mark historical burial sites within the tribal lands. The map details the transition from urbanized areas like Riverside to outlying agricultural hamlets such as Tutuilla and Fulton. The transportation network is extensive, following the river with names like Munra Xing and Lavadour Ln reflecting the specific local geography of Umatilla County.
