About this map

The Walla Walla Valley transitions from agricultural lowlands to the high terrain of Umatilla County in this northern Oregon landscape. The settlement of Umapine anchors the northern border near Stateline Rd, where a network of irrigation and water management features like the Love Loney Ditch, White Ditch, and White Reservoir support the local farms. To the south, the topography rises significantly, marked by the prominent Waterman Gulch and the namesake location of Waterman.

Tracing the path of Pine Cr and its tributaries reveals a landscape deeply tied to water access, from the Swartz Spring in the northeast to the seasonal drainages of Dry Cr and Sand Hollow. This 2017 survey details the contemporary road network, including Harris Rd and Schubert Rd, which connect the scattered ranching and agricultural operations across the varying elevations of the t6n r34e and t5n r34e townships.
