2011 Map of Pilot Rock

About this map

Pilot Rock serves as the primary hub in this Umatilla County landscape, where the confluence of West Birch Creek and East Birch Creek forms the main stem of Birch Creek. This 2011 survey details the transition from the town's residential grid to the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. Rural infrastructure is defined by a network of family and utility routes, including Cemetery Rd and Schoolhouse Rd, which suggest the locations of early community centers and homesteads. The topography is marked by several notable drainages such as California Gulch, Spring Hollow, and Dry Hollow, which feed the various tributaries of the Birch Creek system. To the east, Johnson Creek and Little McKay Creek carve into the upland terrain, while named routes like Porter Rd and Shaw Rd provide access to the higher elevations and gulches like Park Gulch.
