About this map

The Columbia River dominates this stretch of the Washington-Oregon border, defining a landscape of deep canyons and transport corridors. The small settlement of Sundale sits on the northern bank, serves as a focal point where local routes like Hanan Dr and Sundale Rd meet the river's edge. Opposite the water, the settlement of Blalock and the rugged cuts of Blalock Canyon illustrate the topographical challenges of the Columbia River Gorge.

Evidence of historical transit and ranching access is found in the network of named roads and natural landmarks such as Old Lady Canyon and Lang Canyon. Infrastructure like Frontage Rd and Old Hwy 8 parallels the water, showing how modern transportation routes adhere to the same geographic constraints as the earlier paths. Further inland, Chapman Creek and Woelpern Rd mark the transition into the high plateaus above the river valley.
