2020 Map of Dodge

About this map

The Snake River forms the northern boundary of this territory, where the historic landing at New York Bar sits across from the crossing at Central Ferry. The landscape is defined by deep incisions through the plateau, with drainage systems like Deadman Cr and Meadow Cr carving steep-walled gulches that descend toward the river valley. In the southern half of the map, the small settlement of Dodge serves as a local hub at a junction of roads leading through the Pataha Valley. Historically, this area represents a critical intersection of river transport and upland farming, where the terrain transitions from the high elevations of Kuhl Ridge and Dodge Hill down to the water's edge. Names such as Chard and Houser mark the small clusters of activity that supported the agricultural and transport needs of Garfield and Columbia counties in this part of Washington.
