2017 Map of Stanfield

About this map

Stanfield serves as the central hub of this Umatilla County landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management infrastructure supports the local agriculture. The Umatilla River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by the residential clusters of Umatilla Meadows and Echo Meadows. This map documents an intricate system of irrigation, featuring the Hermiston Ditch, Maxwell Canal, and the A-Line Canal, which redirect water from sources like the Walchli Reservoir and the expansive Cold Springs Reservoir to the surrounding fields. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Pleasant View Cem, Foster Cem, and Baumgardner Cem. The transition from the irrigated lowlands to the more dissected terrain of Fourmile Gap and Stage Gulch illustrates the varied geography of this Eastern Oregon region.
