About this map

The Columbia River corridor dominates this map, serving as both a natural boundary and a primary transit artery between Klickitat County and Oregon. The impounded waters of Lake Umatilla reflect the modern character of this riverine landscape, where the flow is managed for power and transport. Settlements like Sundale and Roosevelt are positioned on the northern bank, linked by a network of local routes including Sundale Rd and the historical trace of Old Hwy 8.

Moving inland from the river, the terrain is defined by deep, north-south oriented drainages. Significant features like Blalock Canyon and Old Lady Canyon cut through the plateau, illustrating the erosive power of the drainage systems feeding into the river. This modern topographic record captures the specific balance of agricultural access and natural geography in the contemporary Pacific Northwest.
