About this map

Columbia River and John Day River dominate this landscape at their confluence on the border of Oregon and Washington. This 2011 survey captures the rugged drainage systems of the Columbia Plateau, where numerous canyons like Box Canyon and Biglow Canyon cut through the high desert terrain. The map records the sparse settlements of Goodnoe and Quinton, positioned along the northern bank of the Columbia, while identifying distinct natural landmarks such as The Nook and the Narrows.

Historically significant routes such as Emigrant Springs Rd suggest the region's enduring role in westward travel and transport. Near the southeastern corner, Tumwater Falls and Draper Canyon mark the complex hydrology where the rivers meet. The map detail highlights the network of service roads, including Biglow Canyon Rd and Phillipi Canyon Ln, which navigate the deep ravines and plateau ridges characteristic of the Klickitat County borderlands.
