About this map

Dot serves as the central point of reference in this Klickitat County landscape, situated at the intersection of Ward Rd and Schrantz Rd. This high-plateau region is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and geological depressions, most notably Glass Canyon, Wood Gulch, and Big Horn Canyon. The presence of Old Spring suggests the historical importance of reliable water sources for early land use in this semi-arid terrain.

Communication and transport patterns are reflected in the route of Old Hwy 8 and Newell Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the creeks. Waterways like White Creek and Wood Creek have carved distinct paths through the topography, while Old Lady Canyon sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2023 survey documents the enduring layout of rural roads and natural landmarks that have shaped this portion of Washington state.
