2017 Map of White Salmon

About this map

The Columbia River carves a dramatic path through this 2017 study of the borderlands between Washington and Oregon, framing the established settlements of White Salmon and Bingen to the north and Mosier to the south. The landscape is defined by its steep elevations, ranging from the river banks to the heights of Burdoin Mtn and Tracy Hill. This era shows a complex transportation network where the BNSF Railway and Bingen Range Channel facilitate commerce alongside the winding paths of the Old Columbia River Dr. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Mosier Pioneer Cem and the Jackson Family Cem, while the Mosier Twin Tunnels reflect the engineering efforts required to navigate the Gorge. To the west, the Hood River Valley opens up, while protected lands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount Hood National Forest dominate the surrounding high ground.
