About this map

Crow Butte and Whitcomb Island dominate the landscape of the Columbia River in this 1993 revision, which captures the intersection of recreation, agriculture, and military activity along the Washington-Oregon border. The area is defined by the expanse of Lake Columbia, where Crow Butte State Park offers public access via boat ramps and a campground. To the east, the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge preserves the riverine habitat near the settlement of Whitcomb.

South of the river in Oregon, the map details a starkly different land use, characterized by the expansive Restricted Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility and the Boardman Airport. The presence of an Irrigation Canal and the West Extension highlights the intensive water management required for the region's agriculture, while features like Sixmile Canyon and Canoe Ridge provide topographic contrast to the developed riverfront.
