About this map

Agricultural development and water management define this landscape between Hermiston and Stanfield. The intricate network of irrigation, including the Hermiston Ditch, Feed Canal, and Furnish Ditch, reflects the region's historical transformation into a productive farming hub. These waterways divert from the Umatilla River, supporting the low-lying Umatilla Meadows and Echo Meadows. Large-scale storage is visible at the Cold Springs Reservoir and Walchli Reservoir, which dominate the northern and eastern portions of the map.

Local history is anchored by several small settlements and burial sites. The rail corridor for the Union Pacific passes through the heart of the area, connecting these communities to broader trade routes. Genealogists will find notable burial grounds such as Foster Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Baumgardner Cem along the rural roads. The map also captures topographic features like Stage Gulch and Despain Gulch, which disrupt the leveled irrigation plains.
