About this map

The White Salmon River cuts through this portion of Klickitat County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the settlement of Husum. To the north, the terrain transitions into the high-elevation flats and creek drainages where the community of Gilmer is situated along Gilmer Creek. The presence of the Spencer Reservoir Dam and the adjacent Spencer Reservoir highlights the managed water resources of the region, while the Port Elsner Airport provides a modern aviation landmark near McCoy Flat.

Tracing the rural road network reveals local history through family-named routes such as Lyons Rd, McVey Rd, and Snowden Rd. These roads connect smaller locales like Mountain Brook and Laws Corner, illustrating a landscape defined by timber, agriculture, and mountain stream systems. Several tributaries, including Rattlesnake Creek and the West Fork Major Creek, define the drainage patterns across this upland territory during the early twenty-first century.
