About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep path through Asotin County, defining the drainage patterns for a series of high ridges and steep canyons within the Umatilla National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates the rugged geography of the Blue Mountains transition, where landmarks like Anatone Butte and Cape Horn overlook complex terrain marked by Devils Slide and Shittim Gulch. Evidence of early settlement and land use persists in the naming of the R Barber Ranch and the site of Hanson Ferry along the riverbanks.

Local history is centered on the small community of Mountain View, situated near high-elevation points such as Whitetail Butte. For genealogists and researchers, the inclusion of the Mtn View Cem and the Autrey Cem provides valuable location data for historical burials in this remote corner of Washington. The map also traces a network of springs and gulches, including Hostetler Spring and Yellow Pine Gulch, which supported the livestock and timber operations that have long shaped this landscape.
