2011 Map of Vancouver

About this map

Vancouver dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its urban grid extending toward the Columbia River and the historical Officers Row district. The 2011 geography reveals a complex network of waterways and wetlands to the west, where Vancouver Lake and the Shillapoo Lake basin define the low-lying terrain near Buckmire Slough. To the north, the suburban expansion reaches into Hazel Dell and Salmon Creek, while the presence of the Clark County Fairgrounds and Robert L Delanoy Airport highlights the region's diverse land use. Genealogists and local historians can trace several burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cemetery and Salmon Creek Cemetery. The transition from industrial waterfront at the Port of Vancouver to the residential character of Lakeshore and Minnehaha illustrates the city's significant northern growth at the start of the 21st century.
