About this map

Wamic and the residential area around Pine Hollow are the primary centers of settlement in this high-plateau landscape of Wasco County. The map details an intricate irrigation and water management system essential to the region, featuring the Pine Hollow Reservoir and its Pine Hollow Dam, alongside the Highland Ditch, Threemile Ditch, and Rock Creek Ditch. These man-made channels diverge from natural watercourses like Threemile Creek and Rock Creek to support the local agricultural economy.

Genealogists will find the Wamic Cemetery and the centrally located Wamic Post Office as key points of interest. To the south, the terrain descends toward the White River, passing through the open expanses of Smock Prairie and landmarks such as Graveyard Butte. The map also captures several smaller water features, including Cody Ponds and the Miller Dam on the western edge, providing a comprehensive view of how water shaped the development of this rural community in the early 21st century.
