2023 Map of Mud Spring

About this map

Mud Spring and the surrounding plateau of Douglas County define this high-desert landscape, where the terrain is marked by deep glacial depressions and intermittent water sources. The area is characterized by significant natural depressions like Boulder Park in the north and the winding course of West Foster Creek. A network of rural roads, including Dutch Henry Draw Rd and Mc Neil Canyon Rd NW, trace the section lines and natural draws that cut through the undulating surface. Historical water sources such as Marion Hill Spring and Willow Spring reflect the critical importance of localized hydrology for ranching and land use in this part of Washington. The map also captures several prominent drainage features, notably Long Draw and Wolf Draw, illustrating how water has historically shaped the local topography and settlement patterns.
