2020 Map of Washougal

About this map

The Columbia River forms the central axis of this landscape, separating the Washington and Oregon borders while defining the development of Camas and Washougal. This riverine corridor is marked by a complex network of channels and islands, including Gary Island and Reed Island, which sit within the Columbia Gorge. On the Washington side, the Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge preserves critical wetlands along Gibbons Creek, while the hills rise sharply toward Mt Norway and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. South across the water, the Oregon shore near Troutdale features the mouth of the Sandy River and the high bluffs of Broughton Bluff. Genealogical and local history points are well represented by numerous burial sites, such as Sunnyside Cem and Washougal Memorial Cem, alongside small rural settlements like Corbett and Springdale.
