2023 Map of Wood Gulch

About this map

Roosevelt sits along the northern bank of the Columbia River, positioned where the steep terrain of the Horse Heaven Hills meets the water at Lake Umatilla. This landscape is defined by the sharp descent of the basalt plateau, carved by drainages such as Wood Gulch, Pine Creek, and Coyote Creek. The map documents the boundary between Washington and Oregon, following the center of the river channel, while the interior is marked by a grid of rural routes including Middle Rd and East Rd. High above the river, the landscape opens into Hurlburt Flats, showing the contrast between the fertile riverbank and the high, arid benches. The presence of Roosevelt Elevator Rd points to the agricultural infrastructure required to move grain from the upland farms down to the river transportation corridor.
