2014 Map of Biggs Junction

About this map

Lake Celilo and the Columbia River dominate this landscape at the border of Washington and Oregon, serving as the central axis for regional transit and water management. On the Washington side, the settlement of Maryhill sits below the Columbia Hills, near landmarks such as Stonehenge Dr and the Sam Hill Memorial Bridge. Across the water in Oregon, the junctions at Biggs Junction and the town of Rufus represent critical nodes for highway and river commerce. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the river level up through Spanish Hollow and Davies Pass, while the southern reaches of the map reveal deep drainages like China Hollow and Mud Hollow. Small water bodies such as McCarty Pond and Wheelhouse Pond dot the northern slopes, providing contrast to the massive scale of the river channel and the nearby Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
