1962 Map of Dog River

About this map

The southern reaches of the Hood River Valley reveal a landscape defined by the drainage of the Dog River and its numerous mountain tributaries. This 1962 field-checked survey highlights the early infrastructure of the Mount Hood National Forest, showing established recreation sites like Polallie Campground and Sherwood Campground alongside the Cooper Spur Ski Area. Of particular interest for local water history is the presence of The Dalles City Waterworks Gaging Station on the Dog River, marking the critical role this watershed played in the regional municipal supply.
