About this map

Wishram serves as a pivotal rail and river hub on this 2023 survey, situated where the BNSF Railway tracks trace the northern bank of the Columbia River. The geography is defined by the dramatic transition from the plateau of Centerville Valley down through the Columbia Hills to the water's edge. This modern cartographic record captures the contemporary footprint of local settlements like Wishram Heights, Celilo Village, and the ranching community of Centerville.

Notable cultural sites include the Celilo Indian Cem and the Centerville Cem, providing vital reference points for genealogical research. The landscape is also marked by significant public lands, with the boundaries of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount Hood National Forest bordering the river corridor. Landforms such as Miller Island and Haystack Butte stand as permanent landmarks amidst the evolving transportation infrastructure of the Klickitat Valley.
