2014 Map of Well Spring

About this map

Well Spring serves as a vital focal point in this high-desert landscape of Morrow County, where water sources dictated the movement of early travelers and later settlers. The presence of Wells Spring Cem near the intersection of Immigrant Ln and Wells Springs Rd marks the location of a historic resting place along these arid transit corridors. The terrain is defined by dramatic depressions like Well Spring Canyon and Juniper Canyon, which cut through the plateau to reach sparse but essential water at Tub Springs and Strait Spring. The road network, including the Ione Boardman Rd, illustrates the continued importance of these traditional routes in connecting the remote reaches of eastern Oregon, maintaining the same spatial logic established by the earliest pioneer trails in the region.
