About this map

Goodnoe Hills occupies the high plateau of southern Klickitat County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and sharp ridges. The area is dissected by significant watercourses including Rock Cr, which winds through the central portion of the sheet, and the smaller Waluuluks Cr and White Cr to the north. These canyons, such as Glass Canyon, dictate the historical transportation routes through the hills.

Modern roads follow the paths of earlier transit, with Old Hwy 8 and Chamberlain Goodnoe Rd providing access to the scattered homesteads and ranching lands. The presence of Harrison Ridge and family-named routes like Wesley Rd, Doughty Rd, and Imrie Rd reflect the agricultural and land-ownership patterns of this corner of Washington, where topography and water rights have long governed settlement.
