About this map

The Dalles serves as a critical junction where the Columbia River separates Oregon from Washington, dominated by the massive infrastructure of The Dalles Dam and the The Dalles Bridge. The city's residential and institutional growth is evident through the presence of the Columbia Gorge Community College and several historic burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Grand Army of the Republic Cem.

To the south, the landscape rises into the Mount Hood National Forest, characterized by steep drainages like Whisky Gulch and the winding course of Threemile Creek. Geologic features such as Pulpit Rock and The Hogback define the surrounding heights. Industrial and transport footprints are clearly visible, from the BNSF Railway corridor along the riverbank to the high-altitude Mount Hood Flat and the agricultural depressions of Japanese Hollow.
