2020 Map of Kooskooskie

About this map

Kooskooskie sits at the foot of steep canyon walls where Railroad Canyon and Mill Creek Rd follow the drainage into the high country of the Umatilla National Forest. This landscape is defined by its deep, parallel drainages and prominent ridges, including Biscuit Ridge, Blacksnake Ridge, and Green Ridge. The northern portion of the map shows a shift toward upland agriculture and scattered homesteads near Five Points, while the southern reaches are dominated by the protected terrain of the Mill Creek Watershed. Numerous water sources such as Gold Spring, Sheep Spring, and the headwaters of Blue Cr highlight the vital hydrography that sustains this part of Walla Walla County. The network of forestry and fire roads, such as Lewis Peak Rd and S Fork Coppei Rd, provides a clear view of how these high ridges were accessed and managed.
