About this map

Crider Valley defines this portion of Klickitat County, where a network of rural routes facilitates movement through the high desert terrain. The landscape is deeply incised by Stegeman Canyon to the north and various drainage systems, including Sixprong Cr and Alder Cr. This 2014 survey reveals a sparse settlement pattern dominated by large land tracts and section lines, with prominent topographic features like Sand Ridge in the northeast corner.

A functional grid of gravel and dirt roads, such as Matsen Rd, Stegeman Rd, and Coleman Rd, connects isolated ranching or agricultural sites. Water sources remain critical landmarks in this environment, with Pine Cr and Willow Cr providing essential drainage. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, specifically within T6N and T5N, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in eastern Washington.
