About this map

Boulder Park and the high plateaus of Douglas County dominate this landscape, which is defined by a systematic grid of section roads and deep drainage features. The area's reliance on groundwater is evident through the marking of specific water sources such as Mud Spring, Willow Spring, and Marion Hill Spring. These named springs were likely critical landmarks for early settlers and ranchers in this arid region of Washington.

The terrain is deeply incised by several prominent geographic draws and canyons, including McNeil Canyon, Dutch Henry Draw, and Wolf Draw. The road network, including the winding McNeil Canyon Rd and a series of numbered routes like 12th Rd NW, follows the natural contours and property boundaries established by the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how the 21st-century infrastructure remains anchored to original township and range divisions.
