2011 Map of Washougal

About this map

The Columbia River serves as the dominant geographical divide on this 2011 survey, separating the growing residential corridors of Washington from the canyon-defined landscapes of Oregon. In the north, the Washougal townsite is flanked by Woodburn Hill and Mount Norway, with clear evidence of local heritage at the Sunnyside Cemetery and Washougal Memorial Cemetery. The river itself is dotted with prominent landforms like Reed Island and Gary Island, leading south toward the rugged Oregon shoreline. South of the river, the landscape transitions into the steep terrain of Chamberlain Hill and Knieriem Canyon. This area is characterized by the small settlements of Corbett and Springdale, connected by the winding Crown Point Hwy. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of the Mountain View Cemetery and Pounder Cemetery, alongside the transition from riverfront flats near Steigerwald Lake to the higher elevations of Mount Pleasant.
