2014 Map of Bridal Veil

About this map

The Columbia River dominates this transition between the Gorge and the Portland basin, where the Washington Oregon border follows the main channel through Broughton Reach. On the Oregon side, the landscape is defined by the steep slopes of the Mount Hood National Forest, featuring the historic settlement of Bridal Veil and the community of Latourell. These areas are famous for their vertical relief, with Bridal Veil Falls, Latourell Falls, and Wahkeena Falls marking where tributary creeks plunge toward the river. Notable landmarks like Crown Point and Angels Rest provide vantage points over Sand Island and the Pillars of Hercules. North across the river in Washington, the terrain of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest rises toward Biddle Butte, with the rural tracts of Mount Pleasant and the riverside community of Prindle clustered near the Evergreen Hwy.
