About this map

Anatone serves as the focal point of this Asotin County survey, situated at the edge of a deeply dissected plateau where the agricultural uplands meet the northern reaches of the Umatilla National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages including Wormell Gulch, Nims Gulch, and Long Gulch, reflecting a terrain shaped by erosion and elevation. These geographic features dictate the placement of early infrastructure, such as Stringtown Road and a Jeep Trail winding through the complex topography.

Evidence of rural community life is scattered throughout the township, from the Lake School and Lake Cem to the isolated Cloverland Cem in the northwest. Agricultural and industrial activity is noted by several Storage Bins, a Gravel Pit, and various water sources like Huber Spring and Water Well. This map documents a transitional zone where high-country ridges like Meyer Ridge and Huber Ridge separate the cattle and wheat lands of southeastern Washington from the forest boundary.
