Echo: I-82 at I-84 - Westland Rd
Echo has served as a transportation crossroads in eastern Oregon since the late 19th century. The community developed beside the Umatilla River, where the Oregon Trail crossed the river and later rail and highway routes connected the farm country of the Columbia Plateau. Today, the I-82 and I-84 junction near Echo channels traffic between Washington’s Tri-Cities area, Portland and points east along the Columbia River corridor. Wheat fields and irrigated farmland give the surrounding plateau a broad, working character. Echo’s compact historic district preserves reminders of its railroad-era growth, while the Umatilla River remains central to the town’s setting.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
