About this map

The Columbia River and Lake Wallula dominate this 1990s-era geography at the confluence with the Walla Walla River. The landscape is a critical transportation corridor, where the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific railroads intersect near the water's edge. History is deeply embedded in the terrain at the Fort Walla Walla Historical Monument and Madame Dorion Memorial Park, marking the significance of this river crossing for early travelers and settlers.

Industry and local infrastructure cluster around the rail junctions and riverbanks, including the Paper Mill at Attalia and the grain-handling facilities at Port Kelley. The presence of the Wallula Cem near the town of Wallula and named landmarks like the Twin Sisters basalt formations provide essential reference points for genealogists and researchers mapping the evolution of these riverfront communities.
