2024 Map of Bridal Veil

About this map

The Columbia River carves a deep path through the Columbia Gorge in this detailed 2024 survey, capturing the dramatic meeting of the Washington and Oregon borders. Along the northern bank, the BNSF Railway tracks trace the shoreline through Prindle and Cruzatt, while the southern bank features the concentrated waterfalls and historic corridor of the Mount Hood National Forest. Local history is anchored by the namesake community of Bridal Veil and the settlement of Latourell, with the Mount Pleasant Cem and Belle Center Cem providing key points of reference for genealogists. The landscape is defined by iconic vertical landmarks such as Angels Rest, Phoca Rock, and the precipitous Crown Point, illustrating the extreme topographic relief that has long shaped transit and habitation in this river passage.
