2011 Map of Douty Canyon

About this map

Sixprong Cemetery serves as a vital genealogical anchor in this rural corner of Klickitat County, located near S 6 Prong Cemetery Rd in the southern portion of the map. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems, where significant seasonal water sources such as Haggey Spring, Rattlesnake Spring, and Cottonwood Spring are named alongside larger draws like Douty Canyon and Stegeman Canyon. These features point to a history of land use centered on water rights and livestock in a high-desert environment. The transport network is comprised of long-established gravel and dirt routes, including Alder Creek Rd and Hale Rd, which follow the natural contours of the Willow Creek and Alder Creek basins. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise inventory of the natural springs and rural infrastructure fundamental to this region.
