About this map

The Umatilla River valley defines the character of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the corridor for both the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific railroads. The town of Mission serves as a central hub on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, housing the Indian Agency Hdqrs and the Indian Ceremonial Ground. Evidence of community life and history is scattered throughout, from the Rodeo Grounds near Munra to the Old Agency Cem and Tutuhilla Mission.

The geography is marked by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cutting diagonally across the wheat-growing uplands. Further south, Tutuhilla Mission Cem sits near the confluence of North Coyote Creek and Patawa Creek. Smaller shipping points and sidings like Havana and Fulton follow the rail lines, while localized industry is represented by the Agricultural Experiment Station and a Gravel Pit near McCormack Creek.
