2011 Map of Babcock Ridge

About this map

Babcock Ridge stands as a prominent elevation overlooking a complex landscape of glacial coulees and modern irrigation infrastructure in central Washington. This 2011 survey captures the area as a blend of recreation and agricultural utility, where the Columbia River’s edge at Crescent Bar features the Crescent Bar Resort and Golf Course alongside the small settlement of Trinidad. To the south, the dramatic basalt recession of Potholes Coulee contains a series of water bodies including Ancient Lake and Judith Pool. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by a rigid grid of roads, such as Road 11 NW and Road S NW, supporting the regional aviation at Quincy Flying Service Airport and water management at Evergreen Reservoir. The map illustrates how the natural coulee systems have been integrated into the modern basin through reservoirs like Stan Coffin Lake and Burke Lake.
