Region 9 is located in the north-central portion of Oregon and consists of Gilliam, Hood River, Sherman, Wasco, and Wheeler counties. The Columbia River, second largest in the U.S., borders the northern part of the region.

The region boasts a number of scenic attractions which, in addition to the Columbia River and Columbia Gorge, include the John Day Fossil Beds, Mt. Hood, and national forest areas. Beginning with the completion in 1937 of Bonneville Dam, much of the state's electricity and water for irrigation has been supplied by the area's hydroelectric projects, which also include The Dalles and John Day dams.
