2011 Map of Sevenmile Creek

About this map

Sevenmile Creek and Little Sevenmile Creek wind through this corner of Umatilla County, defining a landscape of deep drainages and high plateaus. The drainage pattern is heavily etched by numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Little McKay Creek in the north and the meandering East Birch Creek across the southern edge. This 2011 survey reveals a territory primarily shaped by its topographical features and a sparse network of rural roads that follow the natural contours of the land. Local landmarks like Porter Hill and the broad Rankin Flats stand as distinct geographic markers above the canyon floors. Human activity is evidenced by roads such as Little McKay Creek Rd and Pearson Creek Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks like Gibson Gulch and Turrell Canyon. The map provides clear detail for those studying the physical geography or land ownership patterns of this rural Oregon interior.
