2017 Map of Petersburg

About this map

Lake Celilo and the Columbia River border define the northern edge of this high-country survey, where the landscape transitions into the canyonlands and plateaus south of The Dalles. The terrain is deeply incised by drainage systems like Fifteenmile Cr and Eightmile Cr, which flow through a network of named hollows such as Japanese Hollow and Company Hollow. This 2017 edition documents the rural infrastructure of Wasco County, recording numerous secondary roads and local routes including Emerson Loop RD and Wrentham Market RD. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Petersburg Cem, Eightmile Cem, and Rice Cem. Near the river, the Viewpoint Grave Island Memorial and Memaloose Island mark culturally significant landmarks overlooking the water, while the boundary of the Mount Hood National Forest touches the western reaches of the quadrangle.
