1994 Map of Bonneville Dam

About this map

Bonneville Dam anchors this mid-1990s survey of the Columbia River Gorge, where the massive engineering of the powerhouse and spillways sits alongside the established riverfront communities of Stevenson, Cascade Locks, and North Bonneville. The landscape is a study in 20th-century transportation and energy infrastructure, featuring the iconic Bridge of the Gods spanning the river between Washington and Oregon, and the Union Pacific railroad tracks following the southern shore. Steep elevations rise sharply from the water toward Greenleaf Peak and Table Mtn, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Iman Cem near Rock Cove and the recreational grounds of the Beacon Rock Golf Course, illustrating the balance between industrial utility and public land preservation in this critical river corridor.
