2017 Map of The Dalles South

About this map

The Dalles sits at a geographic and historic crossroads where the Columbia River separates Oregon from Washington. This 2017 survey details the urban expansion into the surrounding hills, reaching toward Chenoweth and the orchards of Cherry Heights. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with funerary sites, including the Saint Peter's Cem, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, and the Grand Army of the Republic Cem, all clustered near the city core. Beyond the residential grid, the landscape transitions into the steep drainages of Threemile Cr and Fivemile Cr. Distinctive local landmarks such as Pulpit Rock and the long ridge of The Hogback dominate the terrain south of town, while the proximity of the Mount Hood National Forest and Gifford Pinchot National Forest highlights the region's protected timberlands.
