About this map

Ordnance sits at the heart of this landscape, marking a significant site of utility and transport in the high desert of Eastern Oregon. The settlement is defined by a grid of streets including A St, Cedar St, and D St, situated just north of the busy corridor where Stafford Hansell Rd and regional highways converge. The surrounding terrain is deeply influenced by early 21st-century water management, characterized by a complex network of artificial waterways like the W Extension Irrigation Canal and the Westland A Canal.

Land use patterns are further established by the boundary between Morrow and Umatilla Counties, which bisects the map vertically. Natural features such as Coyote Coulee and Fourmile Canyon provide topographical contrast to the straight-line geography of the irrigation systems and rural thoroughfares like Colonel Jordan Rd. This survey documents a critical junction of agricultural infrastructure and transit development.
