2017 Map of Mountain View

About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep, sinuous path through the southern portion of this Asotin County landscape, where the small settlement of Mountain View is positioned on a high plateau. This 2017 survey reveals a complex network of ridgelines and gulches, including Morrow Ridge and Sweitzer Ridge, within the Umatilla National Forest. The presence of the Mountain View Cem and Autrey Cem near the central drainage of Cougar Cr provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracking early homesteaders in this high-altitude cattle and timber country. The river bottom features McNeill Island and the Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery, contrasting with the high peaks of Anatone Butte and Whitetail Butte. Numerous springs, such as Swank Springs and Robinson Spring, indicate the vital water sources that supported settlement across the dissected terrain of Hanson Ridge and Corral Ridge.
