2011 Map of Fields Spring

About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep, sinuous path through this corner of Asotin County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by high ridges and steep canyons. To the north, the terrain rises significantly toward Benson Ridge and Big Butte, with numerous small springs such as Tamarack Spring and Fields Spring feeding the local creeks. The transportation network is primarily composed of ridge-top and valley roads like Montgomery Ridge Rd and Shumaker Grade Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the river basin and the plateaus. A notable point of human activity in this largely natural landscape is the Kuhn Landing Strip located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the dramatic transition from the water-carved depths of Box Canyon and Deep Canyon to the elevated vistas of Puffer Butte.
