About this map

North Powder anchors this landscape at the border of Union and Baker Counties, situated where the North Powder River and the Powder River meet. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation systems essential to the agricultural life of the North Powder Valley and Clover Creek Valley. Named waterways like Moody Ditch, Sunnyslope Ditch, and the Travillion-Koester ditch crisscross the terrain, reflecting a long history of water management in the high desert.

The presence of Oregon Trail Rd suggests the enduring path of westward migration, while local landmarks such as Stephens Spring, Sixteen Mile Spring, and Parker Springs dot the rising elevations. Transport routes ranging from Interstate 84 to the grid of the town center, including 1st St and Center St, connect the settlement to the surrounding ranch lands and the prominent North-Powder Pond Number One.
