About this map

Patit sits at the northern edge of a landscape defined by deep drainages and ridges in Columbia County. This area of southeast Washington is marked by a network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Patit Cr and its branches, N Patit Cr and W Patit Cr, which have carved significant features like Lewis Hollow and Cougar Canyon. The southern portion of the territory transitions into the higher elevations of the Umatilla National Forest, where the summit of Cahill Mtn stands as a prominent landmark.

Transport and access are dictated by the terrain, with roads like Kendall Skyline Rd and Skyline Dr following the high ridges. Local history and community space are preserved at Pioneer Memorial Park, located centrally within the canyons. The map reveals a rural landscape where land management is segmented by gulches and ridges, such as Hatley Gulch and Starvout Ridge, reflecting the agricultural and forestry-based economy of this corner of the state.
