1977 Map of Biggs Junction
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Lake Celilo and the Columbia River dominate this 1970s landscape at the border of Washington and Oregon, marking a point where heavy transport and regional history intersect. On the northern shore, the community of Maryhill is home to the Maryhill Museum and the notable Stonehenge Memorial, a concrete replica situated near the Columbia Hills. South across the Sam Hill Memorial Bridge, the transportation hub of Biggs Junction serves as a nexus for the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads. The map records the industrial and agricultural infrastructure of the era, from the Grain Elevator and various Borrow Pits near Biggs to the small settlement of Thornberry nestled near Spanish Hollow. The presence of several Cemeteries and family-named terrain features like Frank Fulton Canyon and Hartley Canyon provide specific points of interest for genealogical research into the families of Klickitat and Sherman counties.
