2011 Map of Goldendale

About this map

The city of Goldendale serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated at a transition between the northern high ground and the drainage of the Little Klickitat River. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and scientific utility, most notably marked by the Goldendale Astronomical Observatory north of the town center. The transportation infrastructure reveals a mix of old and new, with the Burlington Northern line and Goldendale Airport supporting regional transit. Water resources are well-mapped, including Bloodgood Creek, which flows past the Klickitat County Fairgrounds, and Swale Creek to the south. Notable elevations such as Lorena Butte and Battle Butte rise above the surrounding fields, providing clear landmarks for the various rural routes like Hanging Rock Rd and Pipeline Rd that crisscross the quadrangle.
