About this map

Camas Prairie defines the northern reaches of this Klickitat County landscape, where the terrain transitions from open wetlands to the steep drainage systems of Medley Canyon and Dead Canyon. The map reveals a specialized water management and transportation network, evidenced by the Cold Springs Ditch and the Willard Springs Foot Trail winding through the foothills.

Genealogical interest is centered on the established Mount Adams Cem near the Trout Lake Hwy and the more secluded Dunkard Graveyard situated further south toward Simmons Cr. The high elevation of The Plateau overlooks a rugged geography marked by numerous natural springs, including Castle Spring and Willard Spring, which likely supported early ranching or homesteading efforts in the outlying Panakanic Prairie region.
