About this map

North Powder sits at the heart of this agricultural and riparian landscape along the Powder River, marking the boundary between Union and Baker counties. The town's grid is flanked by significant water management features, including the Sewage Disposal Ponds and the nearby North Powder Pond No 1, which reflect the infrastructure of the late twentieth century. To the east, the Dorion Historical Marker stands near the river, anchoring the area's local heritage.

Transportation and irrigation define the terrain, with a prominent Pipeline running north-to-south parallel to the main roads. The valley floor is crisscrossed by family-named routes such as Coughanour Lane, Sunnyslope Lane, and Bagwell Lane, serving the farms within Clover Valley and North Powder Valley. Upland water sources like Shaw Reservoir and Jimmy Creek Reservoir provide essential catchment for the surrounding drainage basins of Wolf Creek and Little Creek.
