2014 Map of Mount Defiance

About this map

Mount Defiance rises as the dominant peak south of the Columbia River, marking a steep vertical landscape where the Cascade Range meets the river corridor. The map highlights the transit network of the early 21st century, centered on the Lewis and Clark Hwy and the navigation channels of Lake Bonneville, including the Cook Point Range Channel. Small settlements like Cook and the industrial-named Mill sit along the northern banks in Washington, while the Oregon side is defined by the recreation and water management infrastructure of the Mount Hood National Forest. Notable water features such as Drano Lake and the Green Point Lower Reservoir indicate the region's heavy reliance on controlled water resources for both utility and geography. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, punctuated by prominent heights like Dog Mtn and Augspurger Mtn.
