About this map

The Columbia River carves a deep path between Washington and Oregon on this modern survey, highlighting the twin riverside towns of White Salmon and Bingen. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of Burdoin Mtn and Hood River Mtn, while the Oregon side reveals the agricultural character of Moore Orchards. Notable transport features include the Mosier Twin Tunnels 653 and the navigation aid at Wasco Light, marking the importance of the gorge as a major transit corridor.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the mapped cemeteries, such as the Mosier Pioneer Cem and the Jackson Family Cem. The map provides detailed coverage of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount Hood National Forest, showing the transition from riverfront industry along Industrial RD to the high plateaus of Rocky Prairie and Huskey Flat. Numerous springs, including Lelhot Spring and Mosier Springs, dot the drainages of Campbell Cr and Mosier Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the gorge walls.
