1977 Map of The Dalles South

About this map

The industrial and civic heart of the mid-Columbia River region is documented here in the mid-1970s, focused on The Dalles. This survey captures the complex infrastructure of the The Dalles Dam and Lake Celilo as they appeared just before the close of the decade. The landscape transition from the riverfront Port of The Dalles and Union Pacific rail lines to the high-elevation orchards of Cherry Heights is clearly visible. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Pioneer Cem, IOOF Cem, GAR Cem, and Masonic Cem. To the south, the terrain opens into broad agricultural plateaus like Dutch Flat and Mt Hood Flat, while the northern banks of the river show the The Dalles Municipal Airport and the settlement of Dallesport in Klickitat County, Washington.
