About this map

The Umatilla River carves a central path through this Umatilla County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for both agriculture and transport. Near the river's bend, the settlement of Nolin is a focal point for local history, marked by the nearby Nolin Cemetery. The area's water management is evidenced by the Slusher Canal, which parallels the river as it winds through the valley. To the east, the small community of Yoakum sits near the mouth of Mud Spring Canyon.

The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features like Speare Canyon and Horseshoe Curve, while the southern reaches contain a series of seasonal water sources including Lower Mud Spring and Cherry Spring. High-speed travel on Interstate 84 cuts across the northern plateaus, with access provided via the Echo Interchange and REW Interchange, contrasting the modern highway system with the older network of grade roads like Nolin Grade Rd.
