About this map

The Columbia River carves a deep path through the eastern Gorge, dividing the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to the north from the Mount Hood National Forest to the south. This 2017 survey shows the town of Lyle and the community of Rowena linked by the waters of Lake Bonneville and the winding course of the Klickitat River. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, from the heights of McCall Point and Sevenmile Hill down to the shoreline sloughs.

Transport corridors like the Klickitat Trail and the Tunnel on WA 14 highlight the region's long-standing role as a passage through the mountains. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific landmarks like the Lyle Cem and McClure Cem, along with the scattered spring systems including Middleswart Spring and Martin Spring that historically supported settlement in this arid reach of the basalt hills.
