About this map

Vale serves as the hub of this eastern Oregon landscape, situated at the confluence of the Malheur River and Bully Creek. The 2014 terrain is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network including the Nevada Canal, Mill Ditch, and Hope Drain, which supports the agricultural operations of Vale Valley. Significant local landmarks like the Vale Rodeo Grounds and Miller Memorial Airpark reflect the community's cultural and transportation infrastructure.

Beyond the valley floor, the map reveals a rugged geography of buttes and passes. From the prominent Vale Butte and Rhinehart Buttes to the historical transit point at Captain Keeney Pass, the map details how the landscape transitions from irrigated lowlands to the high ground of Lincoln Bench. Local history is anchored by the Pioneer Cem and Valley View Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracking early settlement patterns in Malheur County.
