2020 Map of Waterman

About this map

The Walla Walla Valley defines the northern reaches of this Umatilla County landscape, where the irrigated agriculture of the Pacific Northwest is evident through an intricate network of water management features. Hand-drawn labels reveal the historical reliance on systems like the Love Loney Ditch and the White Ditch, which channel water across the transition from the valley floor into the rising terrain. Small settlements such as Umapine and Waterman anchor the rural road network, reflecting the sparse but deliberate footprint of ranching and farming communities near the Washington-Oregon border.
