About this map

The Snake River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Washington, defining the border between Whitman and Garfield counties. This modern survey illustrates the dramatic elevation changes of the canyonlands, where the water is flanked by prominent landmarks like Granite Point and the towering Castle Rock. River features such as Kelly Bar, Bishop Bar, and Centennial Island remain visible along the channel, while the surrounding upland is dissected by numerous named canyons including Wawawai and Yakawawa Canyon.

Upland drainage patterns are clearly defined by Pewawai Creek and South Deadman Creek, which feed the river from the south. The landscape is marked by a network of rural routes such as Wawawai River Rd and Kirby Mayview Rd, connecting remote points like Rim Rock Plateau and Knoxway Bay. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between the river's geological force and the established transit routes of the eastern Washington interior.
