AREA HISTORY The McKay Creek region reflects the longstanding agricultural and ranching traditions of Eastern Oregon. For generations, its open grasslands, and protected draws have supported cattle, horses, farming, and rural homesteads. The surrounding landscape also holds deep cultural significance for the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples, whose connection to the region extends back thousands of years. Nearby Pendleton developed as a center for agriculture, trade, and Western culture—traditions still represented by the Pendleton Round-Up and the area’s active ranching community. Today, McKay Creek retains its open character, abundant wildlife, and strong land-based identity.
