About this map

The Columbia River dominates this landscape, cutting a wide path between the high elevations of the Columbia Plateau in Washington and the Oregon shoreline. This 2011 survey illustrates the topographical complexity of the river's banks, where deep incisions like Spaw Canyon, Switzler Canyon, and Juniper Canyon drain into the main channel. Mid-river, Van Skinner Island sits as a prominent landmark near the small settlement of Tomar.

On the eastern bank, the community of Juniper sits along the rail and road corridor that hugs the water's edge. Further inland, the map captures the transition to the upland plateau, marked by a network of rural routes such as S Nine Canyon Rd and Sunset Rd. In the southeastern corner, the terrain drops again into the South Fork Cold Springs Canyon, showing the varied drainage patterns typical of this border region.
