1971 Map of Sundale NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Umatilla dominates the landscape where the Columbia River forms the boundary between Oregon and Washington. This early 1970s survey captures the industrial and logistical importance of the river corridor, defined by competing rail lines on opposing banks: the Burlington Northern to the north and the Union Pacific to the south. Small settlements like Bates and Blalock sit perched along the southern shore, while the interior terrain is marked by dramatic drainages such as Swanson Canyon and Philippi Canyon. Near the western edge, the John Day River winds through The Nook before joining the main stem. This map is particularly useful for tracing the transport networks and rural outposts like Philippi situated above the river breaks before significant modern development altered the plateau character.
