2017 Map of Quinton

About this map

The Columbia River and its confluence with the John Day River form the geographical heart of this Columbia Plateau landscape. This modern survey illustrates the complex boundary where Washington and Oregon meet, featuring the settlements of Goodnoe and Quinton along the northern banks. The presence of Lake Umatilla and Squally Hook Rapids indicates the regulated nature of the river system, while the rugged southern terrain is defined by deep incisions like Biglow Canyon, Emigrant Canyon, and Box Canyon. Local land use is tied to these dramatic elevation changes, with rural roads such as Chamberlain Goodnoe Rd and Fox Rd providing access to the high plateaus above the river gorge. The map also records significant landmarks like Tumwater Falls and the geographic feature known as The Nook, documenting the intersection of Klickitat, Gilliam, and Sherman counties.
