About this map

The Columbia River defines the border between Washington and Oregon in this 2014 survey, where the waters of Lake Wallula fill the valley floor. On the Oregon shore, the landscape is marked by the distinctive Hat Rock and the nearby Boat Rock, landmarks that have guided river travelers for generations. Further inland, the settlement of Cold Springs Junction serves as a modern crossroads where Us-730 meets Or-37, connecting the riverfront to the agricultural uplands.

Drainage patterns like Cold Springs Wash and the Hat Rock Drain carve into the terrain, leading toward the river through land marked by steep local features such as Rush Canyon and Box Canyon. Small riverside communities like River View and the north-bank settlement of Berrian illustrate the ongoing relationship between human habitation and the massive waterway, while a grid of rural roads including W Spearman Rd and Diagonal Rd provides access to the surrounding plateaus.
