About this map

The Columbia River dominates this 2011 survey, serving as the border between Oregon and Washington and defining the industrial and civic life of the region. The massive infrastructure of the McNary Lock and Dam is central to the landscape, featuring the McNary Dam Fish Ladder and the nearby Spawning Channel along the river's edge. This modern cartographic study captures the complex network of water management that supports local agriculture and power, including the West Extension Irrigation Canal and the Threemile Falls Diversion Works on the Umatilla River.

Settlement patterns show the established city of Umatilla alongside mid-century expansions like Power City and McNary. Genealogists will find three distinct burial sites preserved here: the Umatilla Cemetery, Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, and Sunset Hills Cemetery. Further south, the map details the rural character of Charlestown and the Wolfe Feedlot, set against natural landmarks like Sillusi Butte and Umatilla Butte.
