About this map

Pendleton serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, illustrating a period of mid-century expansion along the Umatilla River. The city is defined by its strategic position at the intersection of the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific railroads, which support the region's agricultural and industrial base. The map clearly delineates the Old Indian Treaty Bdy cutting through the landscape, a significant historical marker for researchers of land use and tribal history.

Development extends to residential pockets like Sherwood Heights and Pendair Heights, while the institutional presence of the Eastern Oregon State Hospital and Blue Mtn Community College anchor the city's east side. Notable community landmarks include the Roundup Grounds, Olney Cemetery, and several schools such as West Hills Sch and Mc Cune Jr High Sch. The surrounding terrain features named points like Owen Hill and Mt Hebron, while drainage is handled by McKay Creek and Tututilla Creek.
