2011 Map of The Dalles South

About this map

The Dalles serves as the focal point for this survey, situated where the Columbia River bends past landmarks like Lone Pine Island and Covington Point. The city's social and civic history is remarkably well-preserved in its concentration of memorial grounds, including the GAR Cemetery, Pioneer Cemetery, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery. These sites, along with the Lewis and Clark Memorial, anchor the community's heritage along the river's edge. Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into the specialized geography of Hazeldell Orchards Reservoir and the creek-fed valleys of Threemile Creek and Fivemile Creek. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by The Dalles Dam and the Port of the Dalles, while the southern reaches of the map show the transition from valley floor to higher terrain at The Hogback and the distinctive Pulpit Rock.
