About this map

Burr Canyon and the surrounding Franklin County uplands are defined by the dramatic erosional geology of the Pacific Northwest, as documented in this 2020 USGS survey. The landscape is carved by deep drainages such as Dunnigan Coulee and Old Maid Coulee, while the human footprint is primarily composed of a geometric grid of rural roads that adapt to the challenging terrain. Long-established regional thoroughfares like Pasco Kahlotus Rd and Mesa Kahlotus Rd connect the area's agricultural interests.

Local family and property history is etched into the landscape via named routes such as Bauermeister Rd, Overturf Rd, and Moulton Ln. These labels often indicate early homesteaders or established farming families in this part of Washington. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural Coulee formations and the persistent expansion of rural infrastructure into the drainages of Burr Canyon.
