2017 Map of Appledale

About this map

Appledale sits at the base of Sutherland Canyon, marking a pocket of settlement where the plateaus of Douglas and Grant Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the dramatic relief of the Beezley Hills and the massive prominence of Badger Mtn to the north. These high ridges are cut by deep coulees, including Lynch Coulee and Crater Coulee, which illustrate the region's complex drainage patterns. The presence of Baird Springs and Willow Springs highlights the critical role of water sources in this arid terrain, while the local road network, including Palisades Rd SW and Baird Springs Rd NW, follows the natural contours of the canyons and basins. This map provides a clear view of the rural intersection between orchard access and the wild, uncultivated coulees of central Washington.
