2020 Map of Parkdale

About this map

Parkdale and the surrounding orchard lands of Upper Hood River Valley are defined by a complex network of water management, visible in the intricate paths of the Mount Hood Canal and Highline Lateral. This 2020 survey documents the rural character of northern Oregon, where family history is preserved at the Shelley Family Cem and the solitary Homesteader Grave. The landscape transitions from the developed flats of Dukes Valley and Middle Valley into the protected timberlands of Mount Hood National Forest. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Emil Cr Reservoir and Aubert Reservoir, which support the agriculture of the region. Notable terrain features like Surveyors Ridge and Bald Butte overlook the valley settlements, providing a clear picture of the modern balance between residential life, irrigation-dependent farming, and the natural geography of the Hood River basin.
