About this map

The Columbia River serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, defining the border between Washington and Oregon while shaping the industrial and natural character of Washougal and Camas. The landscape transitions from the riverfront marshlands of the Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge to the elevated terrain of Mount Pleasant and Mt Norway. This topography is bisected by the BNSF Railway, which runs parallel to the water through several named reaches and ranges including the Washougal Upper Range and Reed Island Range.

Genealogists can identify several historical burial grounds, such as Sunnyside Cem and Mountain View Cem, which sit above the Sandy River and Washougal River valleys. The map documents the overlap of federal lands, where the Gifford Pinchot National Forest meets the Mount Hood National Forest. In addition to larger settlements, smaller communities like Springdale and Corbett are documented alongside landmarks like Rooster Rock and Broughton Bluff.
