About this map

Kusshi Creek winds through the high country of the Yakama Indian Reservation, defining a landscape marked by steep drainages and isolated water sources. This 2013 survey documents a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including BIA 79 Rd and BIA 288 Rd, which provide access to remote landmarks like Devils Pocket. The map serves as a detailed record of the border between Yakima and Klickitat counties, showing how the administrative line traverses the drainage divide near County Line Spring.

Hydrological features are the primary markers of location here, with Lane Spring and Highbridge Spring serving as vital points in an otherwise arid terrain. These springs, along with creeks like Satus Creek and Shinando Creek, dictate the movement and settlement patterns within this portion of the Pacific Northwest. The map captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the named BIA routes and established township boundaries.
