1994 Map of Mt. Defiance

About this map

The Columbia River serves as the central artery for this mid-1990s look at the border between Oregon and Washington, where steep gorge walls separate high mountain lakes from the industrial and recreational nodes along the water. Industry and infrastructure are concentrated on the northern shore near Mill A and the Little White Salmon Nat Fish Hatchery, while the Oregon side highlights a dense network of preservation areas including Starvation Creek State Park and the Mark O Hatfield Wilderness. The landscape is a study in verticality, climbing from the river's edge past the Old Wagon Road to the high peak of Mt Defiance. Water management is evident through the Green Point Upper Reservoir and Green Point Lower Reservoir, illustrating how the region's natural hydrology was harnessed to support the surrounding communities.
