2023 Map of Dodge

About this map

The Snake River defines the northern edge of this Garfield County landscape, where the waters pass by New York Bar and New York Island before meeting the crossing at Central Ferry. This modern topographic survey highlights a terrain carved by steep draws and ridges, most notably Kuhl Ridge and the prominent Dodge Hill. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations of the Pataha Valley, where the small communities of Dodge and Chard sit along the drainage of Pataha Creek. In the south, the map captures the transition toward Houser near the Columbia and Garfield County line. The complex network of coulees, including New York Gulch, Willow Gulch, and Phalen Gulch, illustrates the dramatic vertical relief of this part of eastern Washington.
