About this map

The Klickitat County seat of Goldendale serves as the central hub of this modern topographical study, situated where the high plateau meets the rising terrain of the Columbia Hills. The town's grid is clearly defined by historical corridors such as Railroad Ave and W Broadway St, reflecting its development as a regional center for agriculture and commerce. Beyond the residential and commercial core, the landscape is shaped by the seasonal flows of the Little Klickitat River and Bloodgood Creek, which trace the drainage patterns of the surrounding volcanic slopes.

Prominent geographical landmarks including Lorena Butte and Battle Butte punctuate the landscape, offering topographical contrast to the agricultural fields that line Centerville Hwy. The map details important local infrastructure from the Goldendale Airport to the remote reaches of Swale Creek in the south, providing a contemporary view of the land use and water resources in this part of Washington state.
