About this map

The White Salmon River cuts through this Klickitat County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Husum and providing a focal point for local aviation at Spring Creek Ranch Airport and Port Elsner Airport. This 2014 survey documents the interface between managed wilderness and rural homesteads, showing the eastern edge of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest alongside small communities like Gilmer, Mountain Brook, and Laws Corner.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of country roads, such as Indian Cemetery Rd and Elfkin Hollow Rd, which suggest the area's deep-rooted history. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Rattlesnake Cr and Gilmer Cr, which flow toward the river through land marked by features like McCoy Flat and Tracy Hill. The map meticulously records the local infrastructure, from the Spencer Reservoir to the numerous named rural roads that connect these high-country plateaus.
