About this map

Lake Celilo and the Columbia River dominate the northern edge of this landscape, shaped by the massive engineering of The Dalles Dam. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks into a dissected plateau carved by Fifteenmile Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Fivemile Creek. This 1970s record shows the infrastructure of the era, from the Union Pacific rail lines and the Big Eddy Substation to more rural landmarks like the Grain Elevator at Rice. Smaller settlements like Petersburg and Fairbanks appear amidst an agricultural network of Emerson Loop Road and Old Dufur Road. Genealogists will find particular value in the Grave Island Mem (Cem) and the Eightmile Cem, while the inclusion of Cushing Falls and Petersburg Falls highlights the natural hydrology of the creek systems before they reach the Columbia.
