1962 Map of Stanfield

About this map

Stanfield and its surrounding agricultural reaches are defined by a complex network of irrigation and transportation in the early 1960s. The Umatilla River flows through the southwestern corner, flanked by Umatilla Meadows and Echo Meadows, while the Union Pacific railroad corridor serves as the industrial spine for the region. The landscape is intensely managed through a system of waterworks, including the Feed Canal, Furnish Ditch, and Maxwell Canal, which draw from the river to support the local farms. To the northeast, the Cold Springs Reservoir dominates the terrain, encompassed by the National Wildlife Refuge. Local social and civic life is anchored by landmarks like the Grange Hall and the High Sch, while several family and community burial sites, such as Pleasant View Cem and Foster Cem, provide critical touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Umatilla County.
