The Columbia River on live United States flood-network stations, ordered upstream to outlet. The vertical profile follows cached terrain estimates along the mapped course. These are not surveyed river-bed or gauge datum elevations. Stations are spaced by distance along the mapped course.
Receives Spokane River, Okanogan River, Methow River, Wenatchee River, Yakima River, Snake River, Walla Walla River, Umatilla River, John Day River, Deschutes River, Klickitat River, Sandy River, Willamette River, Lewis River, Pend Oreille River and Cowlitz River. Junctions outside the gauged reach are named here but not marked on the profile.
Approximate terrain profile: Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via Open-Meteo. Terrain heights are geographic context, not surveyed river-bed levels.
Sequence uses the published network order where available. Newly published stations fall back to geographic ordering until their main-stem position is reviewed. Distances are measured along the mapped river course, not official chainage, because this network does not publish river kilometres.
Terrain profile: Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via Open-Meteo, approximately 90 m resolution. Samples along the mapped course are interpolated for geographic context. They do not establish surveyed bed levels or hydraulic power.
