1957 Map of Goldendale

About this map

The town of Goldendale serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of south-central Washington, situated in the valley of the Little Klickitat River. The landscape transitions from the agricultural expanses of Horseshoe Bend in the south to the high, volcanic peaks of the Simcoe Mountains in the north. This transition is marked by a series of prominent summits, including Black Butte, Jackknife Butte, and Lorena Butte Lookout, which dominates the local skyline south of the city.
