1968 Map of Coleman Hill

About this map

Rufus Woods Lake Columbia River defines the northwestern boundary of this high plateau country, where the landscape transitions from the river's edge to the expansive reaches of Coleman Hill and Pearl Hill. The 1968 topography reveals a high-desert environment dominated by drainage patterns and springs, such as Ruben Blue Spring and Smith Spring, which were vital for life and land use in this arid region. The presence of numerous wells and water sources across the terrain underscores the importance of water management in a place characterized by distinct geological features like Chalk Hills and the winding East Foster Creek.
