About this map

The Columbia River serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, marking the jurisdictional boundary between Washington and Oregon. On the northern bank, the settlement of Wishram and the adjacent Wishram Heights sit at a significant geographical bend, where the Oregon Trunk Junction highlights the importance of rail transit through the river corridor. To the south, Celilo Village and the Celilo Indian Cemetery reflect the long-standing indigenous presence and cultural history associated with this reach of the river.

The landscape transitions from the riparian environment of the river, containing Miller Island and Moody Island, into the upland terrain of the Centerville Valley and Klickitat Valley. Features such as Haystack Butte and the narrow Fulton Canyon define the area's relief, while smaller settlements like Warwick and Fairbanks are connected by a network of rural roads including Centerville Hwy and Dalles Mountain Rd.
