1965 Map of Dot

About this map

The small settlement of Dot serves as the focal point for this 1960s study of the Klickitat plateau, where a sparse network of gravel and unimproved roads connects isolated homesteads and community structures. The presence of the Grange Hall near Cold Spring suggests a social center for the surrounding agricultural and ranching families. The landscape is defined by dramatic drainage systems, including White Glass Creek Canyon and Big Horn Canyon, which carve through the high ground as they descend toward the south.
