1974 Map of The Dalles North

About this map

The Columbia River forms the central artery of this mid-1970s survey, marking the border between Washington and Oregon as it flows through the Gap. The landscape is a study in transport and infrastructure, where the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads parallel the water on opposite banks. To the south, the city of The Dalles exhibits its mid-century footprint, including The Dalles HS, the Drive-in Theater, and residential areas near Chenoweth Creek. Across the river in Washington, the terrain rises into the Columbia Hills and the expansive High Prairie. Notable landmarks such as The Dalles Municipal Airport and the riverside Murdock settlement emphasize the area's role as a regional hub. Local history is preserved in sites like Hartland Cem and Wish-Ham Cem, while Mayer State Park occupies a prominent stretch of the Oregon shoreline.
