About this map

Dayton serves as the central hub of this Columbia County survey, situated where the Touchet River meets its tributaries. The town’s street grid is clearly defined, featuring prominent thoroughfares like E Main St and W Commercial St, while the nearby Dayton Cem provides a point of interest for those tracking local lineages. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a series of deep drainages and hollows, including Mustard Hollow, Johnson Hollow, and Whetstone Hollow, which illustrate the complex topography of the region.

Outlying settlements and geographic markers such as Baileysburg, Ronan, and Touchet Valley indicate the spread of rural development along the river forks. Waterways like Patit Cr and the North Fork Touchet River carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of historic roads such as Patit Rd and Kendall Skyline Rd. This map documents the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the area, anchored by the long-established seat of Dayton.
