2017 Map of Vancouver

About this map

The Columbia River and the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site define this landscape along the Washington and Oregon border. This modern survey details the urban expansion from the historic center of Vancouver northward into communities like Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, and Felida. The geography is shaped by water, from the expansive Vancouver Lake and Shillapoo Lake in the west to the winding course of Salmon Creek and Whipple Creek in the north. Significant local heritage is preserved in sites like the Vancouver Barracks Post Cem and the Mother Joseph Catholic Cem. The map illustrates the region's transport and educational infrastructure, including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR corridors, the Washington State University Vancouver campus, and the Robert L Delaney Airport. To the northwest, the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge marks a preserved natural contrast to the growing suburban landscape.
