1934 Map of The Dalles

About this map

The Dalles serves as the focal point of this 1930s survey, showing a landscape defined by the heavy infrastructure and complex river geography of the Columbia River Gorge. The river corridor is marked by intense engineering, including The Dalles Canal, Fivemile Rapids, and Big Eddy, revealing the navigational challenges of the era. To the west, the Union Pacific line snakes along the shore through Mosier, while higher elevations near the Mt Hood National Forest boundary feature family-named homesteads such as Clancy Ranch and Ketchum Ranch.
