Samuel C. Lancaster, The Columbia River Highway In Multnomah County
From Tanner Creek at Bonneville, to Eagle Creek, distance 1.6 miles, the road ascends gradually for slightly more than a mile, through wooded hills, suddenly coming out on a rock point, overlooking the Columbia River at an elevation of 240 feet.
This is the divide. The road passes around the end of the mountain, which untold centuries ago was broken off by some fearful convulsion of nature. The Indians have a legend of a natural bridge spanning the Columbia at this point.

Comparing the images above and below, you can use the rail bridge as a reference, it is the same in both images. You can see where the old highway was blasted off the side of the cliffs, leaving a big scoop out of the hillside.
