Pilot Rock: I-84 at Cabbage Hill - Deadman Pass
Deadman Pass lies along the eastern flank of Oregon’s Blue Mountains, where Cabbage Hill carries Interstate 84 across a high, forested upland. At about 3,630 feet, the pass forms part of a major east-west route between Pendleton and La Grande. The divided highway follows a long grade through conifer woodland and dry slopes, marking the transition from the Columbia Plateau to Oregon’s interior mountains. This is also Oregon Trail country: emigrants crossing the Blue Mountains faced one of the demanding stages of their journey toward the Willamette Valley. Nearby Pilot Rock is a small Umatilla County community on the region’s open foothills.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
