2013 Map of Sundale

About this map

The Columbia River serves as the dominant geographical and political boundary here, separating Klickitat County, Washington, from Gilliam County, Oregon. On the northern banks, the small settlement of Sundale sits near the mouth of Chapman Cr, where local routes like Conley Ln and the historic Old Highway 8 meet the primary corridor of Wa-14. This landscape is defined by its deep drainage systems, including Old Lady Canyon and the curiously named upland area known as The Burn. Across the water in Oregon, the terrain rises sharply into the high plateaus, carved by Blalock Canyon and Lang Canyon. The presence of Frontage Rd and Woelpern Rd suggests a network of rural access points supporting the agricultural and transit infrastructure along this vital river corridor in the early 21st century.
