2017 Map of Appleton

About this map

Klickitat Heights and Appleton anchor this mountain landscape in south-central Washington, characterized by a complex network of forest roads and springs. The terrain is defined by its water resources, with numerous named points such as Ellard Spring, Baker Spring, and Snider Spring providing vital sources for the surrounding higher elevations. The map reveals a transition from the structured plots of the Snowden area to the more wilderness-oriented lands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in the southwest corner. Local transport is facilitated by roads following the natural contours, including Snowden Rd and Appleton Rd, which connect these small settlements. Features like Snyder Swale and Beaver Pond highlight the varied topography of this Klickitat County region, showing how the landscape supported both forestry and rural habitation in the early 21st century.
