Oregon's geography may be split roughly into seven areas:
Oregon Coast - west of
the Coast Range
Willamette Valley
Rogue Valley
Cascade Mountains
Klamath Mountains
Columbia River Plateau
Basin and Range Region
Columbia River, which constitutes much of the northern border of Oregon, also
played a major role in the region's geological evolution, as well as its economic
and cultural development. The Columbia is one of North America's largest rivers,
and the only river to cut through the Cascades. About 15,000 years ago, the Columbia
repeatedly flooded much of Oregon during the Missoula Floods; the modern fertility
of the Willamette Valley is largely a result of those floods. Plentiful salmon
made parts of the river, such as Celilo Falls, hubs of economic activity for thousands
of years. In the 20th century, numerous hydroelectric dams were constructed along
the Columbia, with major impacts on salmon, transportation and commerce, electric
power, and flood control.
Today, Oregon's landscape varies from rainforest
in the Coast Range to barren desert in the southeast, which still meets the technical
definition of a frontier.
Oregon is 295 miles north to south at longest distance, and 395 miles east to west at longest distance. In terms of land and water area, Oregon is the ninth largest state, covering 98,381 square miles.
The highest point in Oregon is the summit of Mount Hood, at 11,239 feet, and its lowest point is sea level of the Pacific Ocean along the Oregon coast. Its mean elevation is 3,300 feet. Crater Lake National Park is the state's only National Park, and the site of Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the US at 1,943 feet. Oregon claims the D River is the shortest river in the world, though the American state of Montana makes the same claim of its Roe River. Oregon is also home to Mill Ends Park (in Portland), the smallest park in the world at 452 square inches.
Oregon's climate, especially in the western part of the state, is heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The climate is generally mild, but periods of extreme hot and cold can affect parts of the state. Precipitation in the state varies widely: the deserts of eastern Oregon, such as the Alvord Desert (in the rain shadow of Steens Mountain).
