2011 Map of Centerville

About this map

Centerville and Blockhouse anchor this 2011 survey of the Klickitat Valley, where the landscape is defined by the transition from open range to the distinct volcanic profiles of the High Cascades' eastern slope. The map details a rural geography structured around water resources, from the Little Klickitat River and Swale Creek to the industrial operations at the Goldendale Trout Hatchery. Local land management and family history are reflected in the dense network of ranch and access roads, including Harris Ranch Rd, Olson Rd, and Schilling Loop Rd. High ground like Blockhouse Butte overlooks a terrain where agriculture meets the hydrology of Mill Creek and the Schilling Dam. This record documents the rural character of Klickitat County, showing the persistent settlement patterns and modern ranching infrastructure that define this part of the Washington territory.
