About this map

Lake Umatilla and the Columbia River dominate this landscape along the Washington and Oregon border. The map illustrates the convergence of two major waterways, where the John Day River joins the Columbia from the south, marking the intersection of Klickitat, Gilliam, and Sherman counties. Along the northern banks, the settlement of Bates and the curiously named The Nook are situated near Wa-14, which follows the shoreline.

The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes as the high plateaus descend into the river valley through several named drainages. Local routes such as Goodnoe Station Rd and Old Hwy 8 navigate these shifts in topography, passing landmarks like Sand Spring and the Paterson Slough. This survey provides a look at the modern infrastructure and natural geographic features that characterize this vital Pacific Northwest corridor.
