1965 Map of Bickleton NW

About this map

Bickleton Ridge dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Indian Reservation Bdy cuts across the northern terrain. This is a region defined by its deep drainage networks and isolated water sources, essential for the ranching operations that utilized the land. Named canyons and gulches like Milk Ranch Canyon and Wood Gulch provide natural corridors through the high country. Evidence of local habitation and land use is sparse but specific, marked by the presence of a Storage Bin near Gadeberg Rd and a Gravel Pit to the west. Numerous springs, including Milk Ranch Spring, are scattered throughout the draws of Dairy Creek and Squaw Creek, indicating the critical role of water management in this high-altitude Klickitat County environment.
