1 Barlow Road 01992-04-13April 13, 1992 Mount Hood National Forest, north of the line of the Salmon and White rivers from southwest of Wamic to Rhododendron[9] (See also Wasco and Clackamas counties.)
(approx.)
 Wamic to Rhododendron[6] Beginning with its construction by Sam Barlow in 1846, this toll road provided the first overland connection for wagons between The Dalles and Oregon City over the south flanks of Mount Hood, and offered a majority of Oregon Trail emigrants an alternative to the hazardous raft passage down the Columbia River from The Dalles to Fort Vancouver.[10]

 Cascade Locks The opening of the Cascade Locks and Canal in 1896 allowed Columbia River steamboats to bypass the treacherous and usually impossible run through the Cascades Rapids, immediately improving river borne commerce. Much of the canal was submerged and rendered unnecessary by construction of the Bonneville Dam in 1938.[11]

Designed specifically to provide visitors access to the most outstanding of the scenic features of the Columbia River Gorge, the highway is also an outstanding example of modern highway development for its pioneering advances in road engineering, and is the single most important contribution to the fields of civil engineering and landscape architecture by Samuel C. Lancaster.[13]
