1962 Map of Dog River

About this map

Upper Hood River Valley terrain dominates this 1962 survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial water management and forest recreation during the early 1960s. The presence of The Dalles City Waterworks and a Gaging Station along the Dog River illustrates the critical role this watershed played in supplying municipal water. To the west, the Mount Hood Wilderness boundary borders the Cooper Spur Ski Area, showing the development of winter sports alongside established forest service sites like Sherwood Campground. Travel through the area is marked by rugged timber and access routes including Dufur Mill Road and the Surveyors Ridge Road. From the heights of Shellrock Mtn to the depths of Weygandt Canyon, the map captures the complex drainage systems of Crystal Spring Creek and Mill Creek, which flow toward the valley floor.
