About this map

Saint Martins Hot Springs and the settlement of Carson anchor the northern shore of the Columbia River, where the Wind River flows into the gorge from the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the complex transportation and industrial corridor between Washington and Oregon, featuring the Lewis and Clark Hwy and State Hwy 14 alongside the river's Wind Mountain Lower Range Channel.

South of the river, the landscape rises into the Mount Hood National Forest, crisscrossed by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Local industry and history are represented by the C L Lumber Company, the Oxbow Hatchery, and the McQuinn Cem. From the heights of Benson Plateau to the riverside communities of Cascade Locks and Wyeth, the map illustrates a region defined by high-relief terrain and vital water-level transit routes.
