Land Sale Converts to Model Farm on Umatilla County
Land near Maxwell in Umatilla County undergoes a major conversion as 1,100 acres transfer to a consortium led by Stephen Venard and W. H. Eben Mounce. The group plans an irrigated farm using the Butter Creek ditch system and aims to create a permanent settlement with scientific irrigation methods. The Maxwell tract features water about 11 feet beneath the surface and rich soil, offering strong potential in an area linked to the Oregon Land & Water Company. The project will showcase irrigation techniques and attract buyers as development proceeds.
