2020 Map of Kusshi Creek

About this map

Kusshi Cr and Satus Cr define the drainage patterns of this high-elevation landscape along the border of Yakima and Klickitat counties. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, including the bowl-like depression of Devils Pocket and the sharp descent into Shinando Canyon Rd. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with Lane Spring, Highbridge Spring, and County-Line Spring situated along the slopes and valley floors. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia RD 79 and Bia RD 288, provides the primary access through the region, connecting isolated points like the area surrounding Cemetery Rd. The map illustrates a complex intersection of public land survey sections and tribal infrastructure, where named roads like Tomith Rd follow the natural contours of the ridges and creek beds.
