1962 Map of Paterson

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Columbia River waters dominate this 1962 landscape, marking the border where Washington and Oregon meet. The map captures the river's character before and during significant hydrologic changes, showing Lake Umatilla and the complex channels around Bialock Island. On the Washington side, the small settlement of Paterson serves as a hub for the Burlington Northern railroad, while across the water in Oregon, the John Day Wildlife Management Area and Irrigon Cemetery sit near the riverbank. This survey provides a record of the regional infrastructure of the era, from the prominent pipeline crossings and aqueduct to the Paterson Ferry Road and Paterson Junction. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a Gaging Station highlights the long-standing importance of this corridor for transport and water management in the arid Pacific Northwest.
