2023 Map of Falling Springs

About this map

Falling Springs and the surrounding high country of Garfield County are defined by a complex network of canyons and ridges that channel water toward Deadman Creek at the northern edge. The landscape is marked by essential water sources for the region's ranching and agricultural history, including Seeley Spring, Wild Horse Spring, and Twin Springs. Transportation through this steep terrain follows established routes like Vannaton Grade and Kuhl Ridge Rd, which trace the natural contours of the land. Significant geographic landmarks such as Wild Horse Hill and the deep incision of Coyote Canyon dominate the eastern half of the area. This survey also documents the numerous gulches that carve the plateau, from New York Gulch to Willow Gulch, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of eastern Washington.
