About this map

The Klickitat Valley landscape is defined by the transition from the Little Klickitat River in the north to the rising slopes of the Columbia Hills in the south. This terrain supports a rural network of roads and agricultural land, where small private aviation sites like Aerostone Airfield and Hillcrest Airport are found. The map reveals a land structured by drainage patterns, including Swale Creek and the deep cut of Luna Gulch.

Prominent geographical landmarks such as Luna Butte rise above the surrounding valley, offering a distinct visual reference point for the region. The road network, including the Goldendale Bickleton Rd, connects the scattered farms and homesteads that have shaped the character of this Klickitat County area. Local water sources like Harper Spring and North Luna Creek provide the essential hydrology for the valley floor and its upland borders.
