About this map

Vale serves as the focal point of this Eastern Oregon landscape, situated at the confluence of the Malheur River and Willow Creek. The town's historical roots are anchored by the Pioneer Cemetery and Valley View Cemetery, while the Vale Post Office marks its civic center. The geography is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and drainage essential to the Vale Valley, including the Nevada Canal, Nevada Ditch, and Gellerman Canal.

Evidence of the region's topography and transit history is clear at Captain Keeney Pass and along Lytle Blvd. The surrounding high ground, such as Rhinehart Buttes, Vale Butte, and the Lincoln Bench, overlooks a series of vital water management features like Findley Reservoir and East Cow Hollow Reservoir. The inclusion of White Settlement Rd and Miller Memorial Airpark reflects the continued evolution of local transport and settlement patterns in Malheur County.
