2011 Map of Vantage

About this map

The settlement of Vantage serves as a central hub on the western bank of the Columbia River, where Interstate 90 crosses this major waterway. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern transportation and energy infrastructure that defines the region, including the Vantage Airport and the significant Wanapum Dam to the south. The landscape is characterized by its distinct geological depressions and watercourses, such as Rocky Coulee, Schnebly Coulee, and Ryegrass Coulee, which cut through the high ground above the river. To the north, the topographic feature known as Hole in the Wall stands out along the river's edge. The map also traces a network of rural roads east of the river, including Road 11 SW and Road 12 SW, which serve the higher plateaus and drainages like Sand Hollow.
