About this map

Badger Mtn dominates the central portion of this Douglas County landscape, serving as a high-altitude focal point for a complex drainage system of canyons and seasonal creeks. The terrain is deeply incised by Bevington Canyon, Sutherland Canyon, and Francis Canyon, which funnel water toward larger arteries like Rock Island Cr. These natural features dictated the early paths of local transport, evident in the alignment of the Rock Island Grade SW and Keane Grade Ave, which navigate the steep elevation changes. Pockets of reliable water, such as Robinson Spring and Luehm Spring, provide vital survival points in this high-desert environment. This modern survey reflects a landscape shaped by its topographic extremes, where landmarks like Moses Stool stand out against the high plateaus of the Columbia Basin.
