Wasco County elevation and terrain tools
Columbia Gorge • County seat: The Dalles
Wasco County climbs from the Columbia River at The Dalles south across rolling plateau to the forested eastern slope of the Cascades. The Deschutes River canyon runs along its eastern edge, and the open, dry hills between are cut by deep draws.

Property boundaries
The county assessor’s parcel service for Wasco County is not available in the Property tool yet, so taxlots cannot be selected here. Draw your area on the map instead; the parcel lines overlay still shows taxlot lines.
