About this map

Bridal Veil and the small hamlet of Latourell anchor the southern bank of the Columbia River in this survey of the river's gorge. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes where numerous tributaries descend toward the river, creating a concentration of landmarks including Bridal Veil Falls, Latourell Falls, Upper Latourell Falls, and Mist Falls. Transportation infrastructure follows the river's path, notably the E Crown Point Hwy, which provides access to the Bridal Veil Post Office and Rooster Rock Park.

North across the water in Washington, the terrain shifts toward the Washougal River valley, where small clusters like Molfait Tracts, Cruzatt, and Prindle are situated. Notable landmarks like the Pillars of Hercules, Cape Horn, and Phoca Rock rise from the river corridor, while inland features like Pepper Mountain and Ross Mountain dominate the Oregon side. Researchers will find a mix of recreational sites and residential pockets, from the Wahkeena Rearing Lake to local infrastructure like Mabee Mines Rd.
