About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep path through this corner of Asotin County, where the high ridges of the Umatilla National Forest meet the plateaus of southeast Washington. The settlement of Mountain View sits near the headwaters of Medicine Cr, serving as a focal point for local history along with the nearby Mountain View Cem and Autrey Cem. This landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, moving from the riverbanks to prominent heights like Anatone Butte and the long spines of Morrow Ridge and Sweitzer Ridge.

Evidence of early transit and land use is preserved through labels like the Indian Tom Trail and Mine Ridge, while the modern management of the region's resources is visible at the Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery. The map records numerous water sources essential for life in this environment, including Seven Sisters Spring, Indian Tom Spring, and Swank Springs, which are scattered among steep-walled landforms like Coombs Canyon and Devils Canyon.
