About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this landscape in the Columbia River Gorge, where the terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Cascade Range down to the riverbank at North Bonneville. The area is defined by massive geological landmarks like Beacon Rock and Hamilton Mtn, with a network of drainages including Duncan Cr and Hamilton Cr cutting through the steep slopes.

Conservation and recreation are central to this 2017 survey, which shows the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding past Three Corner Rock in the north before descending toward the Pierce National Wildlife Refuge. Notable water features such as Hardy Falls and Rodney Falls reflect the dramatic verticality of the terrain. Local access is marked by names like Mars Landing Rd and Duncan Creek Rd, which provide context for the developed areas near the river.
