2017 Map of Husum

About this map

Husum serves as a central hub in this corner of Klickitat County, situated where the White Salmon River meets a network of local roads including Fordyce Rd and Fairway Dr. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley to the elevated timberlands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in the southwest and the rising slopes of Tracy Hill to the southeast. To the north, the settlement of Gilmer and the high drainage of Rattlesnake Cr indicate a more dispersed rural pattern of homesteads and winding mountain routes like Oak Ridge Rd. The presence of small aviation facilities such as Spring Creek Ranch Airport and Port Elsner Airport underscores the area's role as a gateway to the Columbia River Gorge backcountry, while landmarks like Laws Corner and McCoy Flat mark the intersections of long-standing forest and ranching routes.
