  • CLIMATE and PRECIPITATION of Hood River County
    1 WPG Document F4 PERS/Water/WPGRptClimPcpt CLIMATE AND PRECIPITATION of Hood River County by Hugh McMahan Water resources cannot be discussed or evaluated without an assessment and inventory of the input: the precipitation that falls on Hood River County. The amount and kind of precipitation are dictated by the interrelationship of the county’s unique topography, location, and climate. LOCATION AND TOPOGRAPHY Hood River County is nestled between the Cascade Range to the west, the Columbia River and Gorge to the north, and Surveyors Ridge, Fir Mountain and Hood River Mountain to the east. The mighty Mount Hood and its flanks define the southern border of the County. There is a dramatic range of elevation in the County - from about 75’ at the Columbia River to the north all the way to the summit of Mount Hood at 11, 240’ in the south. In addition to this great topographical variation, the County also reflects the biodiversity fostered by both its climate and topography: the fir-hemlock forests on the west and the fir-ponderosa pine-oak forests on the east. Running from the summit of Mount Hood at 11,240’ roughly north-south between these land forms is the Hood River Valley. The Heights of the lower Hood River Valley are at about 500’ elevation, Odell at about 700’, and the diminutive middle valley in the saddle between Middle Mountain and Fir Mountain, is at about 1600’. The upper valley at its lowest, northern end is at about 1400’ elevation and farther south in Parkdale about 1740’ and on up to the Cooper Spur Inn at 3400’.

Payne, Salem, Oregon post office clerk, stamp and cover collector who said, "my stamp and cover collecting hobby led to old covers (envelopes) postmarked from post offices in Oregon that no longer exist. In order to know where these places were I started a list of dead post offices. Others gave me help and I made research in old postal guides in various libraries, but such directories gave no dates of establishment or discontinuation of offices. I interested Lewis McArthur in the subject and through him and a close friend in Washington, D.C., we hired girls to copy the Oregon post office ledgers, about 4000 work sheets, in the National Archives! From those sheets I have compiled the Oregon post office list of all offices! They could be obtained in no other way and from no other source. All of this information will be in the third edition of Lewis A. McArthur's OREGON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES which will be off the Binford & Mort press in Portland November 1952. It is a must for history lovers and collectors." From Mr. Payne's list of Oregon post offices we have compiled two lists of Wasco county post offices. The first list are the 55 offices within the present boundary of Wasco county. The distances indicated from The Dalles are by the original roads, not our longer highways.
