About this map

Smeltz serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Umatilla County, where the southern reaches of the Walla Walla Valley meet a complex network of drainages. The area is defined by deep incisions in the plateau, notably the North Fork Juniper Canyon and South Fork Juniper Canyon, alongside the winding path of Greasewood Cr. Water management is central to the land use here, evidenced by the presence of South Ditch and natural sources like Fruit Spring.

A robust grid of county roads, including Co Road 852 and Van Sycle Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and agricultural operations. The terrain transitions from the valley floor into prominent features like Vansycle Canyon and Warm Springs Canyon, illustrating the relationship between the regional hydrology and the upland topography. Local infrastructure is further detailed through family-named routes such as Terjeson Rd and Kupers Rd.
