About this map

Mount Hood National Forest and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest converge at the Columbia River in this detailed topographic study of the Columbia River Gorge. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, featuring prominent overlooks like Wauneka Point and Munra Point that tower above the river. This area is characterized by a high concentration of water features, with numerous falls such as Moffett Falls, Elowah Falls, and Wahclella Falls marking the steep descent of creeks toward the gorge floor.

Water management and conservation are central to the terrain, as seen in the southern portion where the Bull Run River flows through protected forest lands. Significant peaks including Tanner Butte and Eagle Butte anchor the interior, while the transition from river level at Ives Island to the heights of Table Mtn illustrates the extreme elevation changes of the region. Forest access is provided via the network of routes like Nat For Dev Rd 10 and the Talapus Mtn Rd.
