1968 Map of Orondo

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Orondo sits along the eastern shore of the Columbia River, situated at a key bend where the water is designated as Lake Entiat. This 1960s landscape is defined by the sharp rise from the riverbanks to the summit of Badger Mountain, where the Badger Mtn Lookout Tower and various radio installations overlook the valley. The transportation network of the era is clearly visible, with the Burlington Northern railroad hugging the riverbank near Wagnersburg while the Badger Mountain Road winds through the high terrain to the south. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the Badger Mtn Community Hall and the South Side Cem, while the rugged eastern slopes are cut by deep features such as McGinnis Canyon. The map captures a moment of transition for the region, balancing riverside infrastructure like Pumping Sta facilities with the high-country Jeep Trails and Borrow Pits of the interior.
