2014 Map of Lyle

About this map

The Columbia River forms a wide natural corridor separating the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington from the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon. This 2014 survey captures the distinct settlement patterns along the river banks, with the town of Lyle situated near the mouth of the Klickitat River and the community of Rowena tucked under the cliffs on the southern shore. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, from the basalt heights of McClure Hill and Rowena Crest to the riverside flats near Salisbury Slough.
