About this map

Bickleton Ridge dominates this portion of Klickitat County, serving as a high-elevation divider for the drainage systems that carve through the landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including Dairy Canyon and Wood Gulch, reflecting a traditional ranching and timber geography. Water sources like Milk Ranch Spring and Box Spring indicate the essential infrastructure required for upland land use in this arid region of Washington.

Transportation throughout these hills is facilitated by the Bickleton Hwy and various local routes such as Fireline Rd and Jensen Quarry Rd, which cut across the ridges. The complex network of creeks, including Walaluks Creek, Spring Creek, and Harrison Creek, creates a dissected plateau appearance typical of the Columbia Plateau's northern edge. This survey documents the intersection of natural topography and rural land management, highlighting the named canyons and springs that have long anchored local identity.
