Wasco County at a glance: towns and land
The county seat is The Dalles; Antelope, Dufur, Maupin, and Mosier are among the other communities you can zoom to. Out in the countryside, Chenoweth, Pine Grove, and Pine Hollow appear as small knots of lots along the road network. Census Bureau estimates show 26,333 residents in 2023 and around 2,381 square miles of land in the county. That is only a handful of people per square mile, so most of the Wasco County map is open country, ranch ground or timber, with parcels that can run to hundreds of acres. The Columbia River is part of the Wasco County landscape, and creek or shoreline tracts are common there. Look for Mount Hood National Forest on the map; the private tracts touching it are some of the most asked-about parcels in Wasco County.
Opening the Wasco County parcel viewer
The county relies on a state-hosted layer for public parcel viewing: ORMAP statewide tax lot viewer. It covers Wasco County along with the rest of Oregon.

The same link lives on our Wasco County county page, along with links for the surrounding area.
Reading property lines on the Wasco County plat map

Corner pins, a recorded plat and an Oregon licensed surveyor beat any line on a screen.
