About this map

The Columbia River forms the central corridor of this 2011 survey, carving through the dramatic Columbia Gorge as it separates Oregon and Washington. On the southern bank, the city of The Dalles serves as a major hub, bordered by the Chenoweth settlement and industrial areas near Dallesdam. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with prominent landmarks such as Windy Point, Squally Point, and Crates Point overlooking the water.

North across the river, the Washington side reveals a more rural distribution of small communities like Murdock, Smithville, and Hartland. Evidence of local history and family legacy is found in the Hartland Cemetery and Wish-Ham Cemetery, while the convergence of the Klickitat River and the numerous springs like Alder Spring and Frantz Spring highlight the critical role of water in this semi-arid canyon environment.
