2014 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton serves as the primary focal point of this Eastern Washington landscape, situated along the county line where Stevens and Spokane counties meet. The area is defined by a series of distinct valleys and plateaus, including Big Foot Valley and Williams Valley, which support a network of rural homesteads and agricultural operations. Local heritage is grounded in sites like the Williams Valley Hillside Cem and the small settlement of Christiansons near the northern border. To the south, the terrain transitions into the expanse of Wild Rose Prairie near the locality of Hazard. Significant geographic features such as Dunns Mtn and Twin Mountains rise above Holmes Canyon in the southwest, while the drainage of Beaver Creek and various branches of Dragoon Creek provide the essential water network for this high-country region.
