2011 Map of Crider Valley

About this map

Crider Valley and the elevated formation of Sand Ridge define this corner of Klickitat County, where a network of rural drainage systems and early 21st-century roadways mark the high desert landscape. The terrain is deeply inscribed by seasonal waterways including Sixprong Creek, Willow Creek, and Alder Creek, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. A sparse grid of named roads, such as Alder Creek Rd, Matsen Rd, and Crider Valley Rd, connects the plateaus and draws, reflecting a land primarily used for wide-ranging agricultural or pastoral purposes. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and property access routes that characterize the region just after the turn of the millennium.
