About this map

Anatone serves as the focal point of this rural Asotin County landscape, situated where the high plateau meets the deep drainage systems of the Blue Mountains. The settlement pattern in the early 1970s reflects a deeply rooted agricultural and ranching history, evidenced by the scattered legacy of Stringtown and family-named landmarks like Huber Ridge and Bennett Ridge. This period of the survey shows the intersection of upland farming and the protected timberlands of the Umatilla National Forest.

Water management and local education define the community's early infrastructure, with Huber Lake and Huber Spring providing vital resources amidst the steep relief of Heffelfinger Gulch and Wormell Gulch. Local genealogists will find value in the specific locations of Lake School, Cloverland Cem, and Lake Cem, which mark the centers of gravity for these highland neighborhoods before modern consolidation altered the social landscape.
