About this map

Wishram and the historic riverfront of the Columbia River anchor this 2014 survey, highlighting the complex intersection of transport and geography on the border of Washington and Oregon. The map detail follows the river's path through Hells Gate, where the waters of Lake Celilo separate Klickitat County from Wasco and Sherman Counties. The settlement pattern reveals the importance of the rail and road network, featuring Oregon Trunk Junction and the path of State Hwy 14 winding beneath the Columbia Hills.

In the higher elevations to the north, the Klickitat Valley transitions into the agricultural and rural stretches of Centerville and Warwick. Local history markers are preserved through labels for the Centerville Cem and family-named landmarks like Robertson Springs and Carlisle Spring. The southern portion of the map identifies significant river features including Miller Island, Moody Island, and the designated Heritage Landing near the mouth of Fulton Canyon.
