2011 Map of Ring

About this map

Ring appears here as a focal point in the rural northern reaches of Umatilla County, where the high plateaus are carved by seasonal drainages. The landscape is defined by the deep indentation of Vansycle Canyon to the north and the diverging paths of North Juniper Canyon Rd and S Juniper Canyon Rd further south. This 2011 survey illustrates a highly organized grid of county roads and family-named thoroughfares, such as Campbell Rd, Newtson Rd, and Dorran Rd, which reflect the area's deep-rooted agricultural divisions. The network of routes, including Stockman Rd and Kings Corner Rd, suggests a landscape devoted to large-scale dryland farming and ranching, characteristic of the inland Pacific Northwest.
