About this map

Parkdale serves as the central hub of this agricultural and timber landscape in the shadow of Oregon's highest peak. The settlement's infrastructure is anchored by the Mount Hood-Parkdale Post Office and nearby Hanel Field, reflecting the region's importance as a fruit-growing and resource-rich corridor. The map details a complex irrigation network vital to the Upper Hood River Valley, featuring the Mount Hood Canal, East Fork Main Canal, and Highline Lateral that distribute water from the East Fork Hood River.

Genealogists can find the Upper Valley Cemetery and Shelley Family Cemetery on this sheet, while landmarks like Booth Hill, Bald Butte, and Surveyors Ridge define the local topography. This 2011 survey captures the area's established rural character, tracing the paths of numerous family-named landmarks and water sources like Shelley Springs and Graham Spring that have long supported the valley's orchards and homesteads.
