About this map

The Dalles Dam anchors this mid-century survey, spanning the Columbia River and creating Lake Celilo. The industrial and transportation identity of the region is evident in the dual rail lines of the Spokane Portland and Seattle and the Union Pacific that flank the water. On the Oregon side, The Dalles serves as a major hub, featuring a High Sch, the Port of The Dalles, and even a Drive-in Theater near the riverfront. North across the Columbia Bridge, the Washington landscape includes Dallesport and its Dallesport Sch. The surrounding hillsides are dotted with rural infrastructure like the Fairfield Sch and Lower Fivemile Sch, along with numerous landmarks such as the Radio Range Station and a Television Tower, reflecting the post-war modernization of the Columbia valley.
