About this map

Mcnary National Wildlife Refuge borders the eastern bank of the Walla Walla River in this modern topographic study of the Walla Walla Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes where the river basin meets the steep uplands of Vansycle Bluff and Vansycle Canyon. This landscape is marked by several significant drainage features, including Warm Springs Canyon and Nine-mile Canyon, which carve through the high ground south of Zangar Junction.

Local transportation is represented by a network of rural roads and paths, such as the Wallula Horse Trl and Oasis Rd. The map documents the boundary where Washington and Oregon meet, illustrating the transition from the river lowlands to the higher plateau near the settlement of Reese. The proximity of the wildlife refuge to these agricultural and transit corridors highlights the shared use of the valley floor.
