1971 Map of Harlow Ridge

About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the high country of Asotin County, defined by a complex network of branching ridges and deep drainages. The landscape is structured by prominent landforms such as Smoothing Iron Ridge and Harlow Ridge, which separate the various canyons and gulches feeding into the local watershed. Historically, the area shows signs of human activity in its backcountry, marked by the presence of Ruins and several remote springs, including Sheriff Spring, Vogan Spring, and Arnold Spring. The drainage pattern is led by the North Fork Asotin Creek and South Fork Asotin Creek, which cut through the northern portion of the quadrangle. Other notable features include the Asotin Creek Trail and isolated markers like Lost Cabin Ridge, suggesting the legacy of early forest management and homesteading efforts in this part of Washington.
