1929 Map of Hood River

About this map

Stevenson and Hood River anchor this 1920s survey of the Columbia River Gorge, depicting the region’s vital transportation corridor before the landscape was altered by mid-century dam projects. The river is a hive of activity, featuring the Spokane Portland and Seattle Ry on the Washington shore and the Union Pacific tracks alongside the Columbia River Highway in Oregon. The iconic Bridge of the Gods spans the water near Cascade Locks, while the Mount Hood RR winds south through the orchard-filled valley toward Parkdale.
