2023 Map of Weston Mountain

About this map

Weston Mtn and the surrounding high ridges of Umatilla County are defined by a complex network of canyons and drainage systems feeding into Wildhorse Creek and Couse Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by topography and rural access, where family and place-named landmarks like Reed and Hawley Mtn, Basket Mtn, and Wildhorse Mtn anchor the terrain. The central position of the Hyatt Cem near Hodgson Rd provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this part of Oregon. Significant elevation changes are marked by features such as Big Saddle and Reservation Mtn, while the intricate canyon systems, including Big Royborn Canyon and Scott Canyon, suggest the difficult paths of early water and road development through the region's basalt-heavy geology.
