Past and Present Views Along the Columbia River Highway

Jonathan Ledbetter (http://blog.beaverstateroads.net), February 17, 2020:

OSHD engineering drawing 3B-19-3, Columbia River Highway, Umatilla to Echo, dated July 1921. Also includes Hermiston and Stanfield. Features mileposts 191 to 206, with former mileposts 193 to 209 crossed out. Like the others, this was sliced into 8 equal 3200x2400 pieces in an attempt to avoid Facebook compressing them to death.

Oregon State Archives: A 1940 Journey Across Oregon

HERMISTON, 215.5 m. [West of Ontario] (459 alt., 608 pop.), a tree shaded oasis, with irrigation canals running through its streets is in the Umatilla Irrigation Project. Artificial waterways have reclaimed from the desert the surrounding fields that produce crops of grain, vegetables and fruit and that stand out in startling contrast to the sagebrush. The town is the home of the Eastern Oregon Turkey Association, which ships thousands of birds annually, and it is well known for its desert honey. It was named for the Weir of Hermiston, written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
