About this map

The Columbia River forms a massive corridor between Oregon and Washington on this 1990s revision, marking the border between Skamania Co and Hood River Co. The landscape is dominated by steep volcanic terrain, rising from the river's Bonneville Normal Pool up to the high peak of Mt Defiance. Historical transport and early industry are evident in the Old Wagon Road Historical Area and the presence of Mill A and Mill B near the Little White Salmon River.

Recreational and conservation efforts are mapped through a dense network of protected lands, including Viento State Park and the Vinzenz Lausmann Memorial State Park. Forest infrastructure like the Kingsley Campground and numerous radio facilities serve the Mount Hood National Forest and Gifford Pinchot National Forest, while water resources are managed via the Green Point Upper Reservoir and a nearby Aqueduct.
