About this map

The Columbia River serves as a massive geographic divider in this recent survey, separating Washougal and Camas on the Washington shore from Troutdale and Corbett in Oregon. The river landscape is defined by complex water features and islands, including Reed Island, Gary Island, and the protected wetlands of the Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge. This area represents a critical intersection of navigation and conservation, where the river narrows into the Broughton Reach.

Away from the water, the terrain rises sharply into the hills of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount Hood National Forest. Local history is preserved in numerous upland cemeteries such as Pounder Cem and Mountain View Cem near the Cemetery Hill landmark. Transportation routes like the Evergreen Hwy and E Crown Point Hwy follow the contours of the bluffs, linking older settlements like Fern Prairie and Springdale to the river-front industrial hubs.
