About this map

Paterson Ridge and Canoe Ridge define the elevation changes of this Benton County landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the northern banks of the Columbia River. This 2017 survey details a specialized agricultural and industrial corridor, centered around operations at Sandpiper Farms and the Columbia Crest winery. The presence of the Columbia Crest Winery Airport underscores the intersection of modern viticulture and logistical infrastructure in this part of Washington.

Down at the river's edge, the map illustrates the complex waterway of Lake Umatilla, punctuated by a chain of islands including Little Blalock Island, Big Blalock Island, and Telegraph Island. The drainage of Glade Cr and its eastern branch cut through the ridgelines, feeding toward the North Channel Columbia River. For those tracing local land use, the map documents specific roadways like Townsend Rd and specialized features such as the Sandpiper Farms Settling Pond.
