2017 Map of Dead Canyon

About this map

The Klickitat River carves through the eastern edge of this landscape, flanked by a complex network of timber and access roads including River Route Rd and Company Rd. The terrain is defined by its deep drainages, most notably Dead Canyon, Willis Canyon, and Skookum Canyon, which cut through the high ground of The Plateau. This area in Klickitat County is characterized by its vital water sources, as evidenced by the high density of named springs like Wellenbrock Spring, Kuhnhausen Spring, and Masondale Spring. The northwest corner touches the Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, marking a transition toward the protected wetlands of the Glenwood area. Local ranching and land management history is reflected in the naming of infrastructure, such as Division Fence Rd and Pasture Fence Rd.
