2017 Map of Crider Valley

About this map

Crider Valley and the surrounding drainage basins of Klickitat County are mapped here in high detail, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Alder Cr cuts deeply through the central portion of the quadrangle, while Stegeman Canyon and the elevated Sand Ridge provide prominent geographic landmarks to the north. This 2017 survey reflects the modern rural infrastructure of the region, where a network of long-established section roads like Stegeman Rd and Crider Valley Rd follow the natural contours of the valley floor and ridge lines. Further south, Sixprong Cr and Pine Cr snake through the terrain, highlighting the hydraulic patterns that have influenced land use and travel in this part of Washington for generations.
