2017 Map of Carson

About this map

Lake Bonneville and the Columbia River dominate this 2017 survey, marking the state boundary between Carson, Washington and the forested slopes of Oregon. The landscape is defined by the massive reach of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to the north and the Mount Hood National Forest to the south. This era shows the continued importance of the river corridor for transportation and recreation, with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the high elevations of the southern section. Notable points of interest include the historic Saint Martins Hot Springs and local burial grounds such as McQuinn Cem and Wyeth Cem. The map illustrates a complex geography of ridges and plateaus, from Buck Mtn in the north to the Benson Plateau in the south, separated by the deep gorge of the Columbia. Smaller settlements like Stevenson and Cascade Locks anchor the riverbanks, connected by infrastructure such as Nick Eaton Way and Hot Springs Ave.
