2023 Map of Bickleton

About this map

Bickleton and Cleveland serve as the primary focal points of this Klickitat County landscape, situated atop a plateau defined by deep drainage systems. The settlement at Cleveland is marked by the presence of the Cleveland Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research. The geography is characterized by a network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Wood Creek and Pine Creek, which have carved distinctive features such as Wood Gulch and Big Horn Canyon into the terrain. Transportation in the area relies on a grid of rural roads like the Bickleton Hwy and Mabton Hwy, illustrating the enduring connectivity between these high-country communities. The drainage patterns of White Creek and Alder Creek further underscore the hydrological character of this part of Washington, where the elevation and water flow dictate the placement of local homesteads and access routes.
