About this map

Lake Celilo dominates the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, marking the flooded reach of the Columbia River between the Washington and Oregon border. The map captures a complex transportation corridor where the Burlington Northern railroad hugs the northern shore and the Union Pacific runs along the southern bank. On the Washington side, the terrain rises sharply from the river through the Columbia Hills toward the high-altitude settlement of High Prairie.

Cultural and maritime history is evident in the navigation aids and recreational sites along the water, including the Fivemile Lock and Fivemile Rapids Light. The presence of several Cem markers and isolated Spring labels suggests a landscape of scattered rural homesteads and family plots. To the west, Horsethief Lake State Park provides a notable landmark near the river, while the northern interior features agricultural and ranching terrain around Swale Canyon and the prominent Stacker Butte.
