1978 Map of White Salmon

About this map

The Columbia River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 1970s landscape, where the settlements of White Salmon and Bingen anchor the Washington side against the town of Mosier in Oregon. The topography is dominated by the steep rise of Burdoin Mountain and Tracy Hill to the north, while the southern bank climbs toward Panorama Point and the Hood River Valley. Transportation infrastructure is highly developed along both banks, featuring the Toll Bridge, the Union Pacific tracks, and the Northern Burlington line, illustrating the gorge's role as a vital transit corridor.
