1962 Map of Crider Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Crider Valley and the surrounding high plateau of Klickitat County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and agricultural infrastructure as they appeared in the early 1960s. The landscape is marked by numerous Storage Bins positioned along the rim of Alder Canyon, indicating a robust dryland farming economy dependent on these upland storage points. Access to these remote sections was provided by a grid of family-named routes, including Matsen Road, Coleman Road, and Hale Road. The terrain drops sharply from Sand Ridge into deep coulees where Pine Creek and Sixprong Creek converge. This survey, based on 1958 photography, captures the rural character of the region before modern consolidation, preserving the specific placement of individual grain bins and the exact paths of unimproved roads like Stegeman Road and Whitmore Road.
