About this map

The Dalles serves as the focal point of this map, situated where the Columbia River transitions between Lake Bonneville and Lake Celilo. The area is densely packed with historical markers, particularly its collection of cemeteries including the Saint Peter's Cem, Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, and the Grand Army of the Republic Cem. The proximity of these sites to the Wasco County Courthouse and Columbia Gorge Community College reflects the long-standing civic and social importance of this river crossing.

To the south, the landscape shifts from urban development into the agricultural and natural terrain of the Mount Hood National Forest. Water management is evident through the Hazeldell Orchards Reservoir and the drainage patterns of Threemile Creek, Fivemile Creek, and Eightmile Creek. Unique landforms like The Hogback, Japanese Hollow, and Dutch Flat reveal the varied topography that defined local settlement patterns and land use outside the main river valley.
