About this map

The Columbia River forms the northwestern boundary of this landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by deep drainage systems. The primary topographical feature, Juniper Canyon, winds through the center of the sheet, supported by its secondary branches, the North Fork Juniper Canyon and South Fork Juniper Canyon. To the south, McCall Canyon provides additional relief in an area largely characterized by its network of rural access roads.

Transportation in this part of Benton County relies on a grid of county routes, including Wallula Rd and S Cold Springs Rd. Water sources are sparse in this arid environment, making the location of Badger Springs a significant landmark for those tracing early land use. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of large-scale land management, evidenced by the long stretches of named roads such as Hartle Rd and Holoman Rd that traverse the high plateau between the canyons.
