About this map

Stanfield serves as the central hub of this Umatilla County landscape, where the agricultural economy is deeply tied to an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. The movement of water is meticulously documented through features like the Stanfield Branch Furnish Ditch, the Hermiston Ditch, and the Stanfield Drain, all supporting the farms that lie between the Umatilla River and the high desert plateaus. To the northeast, the Cold Springs Reservoir is held by the Cold Springs Dam and Walchli Dam, forming a critical water source for the region's orchards and fields.

Local family history and heritage are preserved at several sites, including Pleasant View Cemetery, Foster Cemetery, and Baumgardner Cemetery. The transportation corridor is defined by the Union Pacific railroad and the meeting of major routes at Stanfield Junction. From the post office in the heart of town to the descent into Stage Gulch, the map reveals how engineering and natural topography have shaped this part of the Columbia Basin.
