2011 Map of Harlow Ridge

About this map

Black Ranch and the Raymond Blankenship Ranch anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, illustrating the persistent ranching heritage of Asotin County. The terrain is defined by a series of steep, dramatic drainages including Dark Canyon and Warner Gulch that feed into the arterial South Fork Asotin Creek. The map documents a network of named rangelands such as the Charlie Knight Ranch and E A Parsons Ranch, showing how family holdings were carved out among the prominent topographical features of Harlow Ridge and Smoothing Iron Ridge. A system of springs, such as Sheriff Spring and Vogan Spring, provides critical water sources in an otherwise high-elevation environment, supporting the livestock operations that have long defined this portion of the Pacific Northwest.
