About this map

Klickitat River carves a deep valley through this 1970 landscape, marking the boundary between Yakima and Klickitat Counties. The area is characterized by significant topographic relief, from the heights of Peavine Ridge and Klose Butte down to the bottomlands of Border Flats. The presence of the Klickitat State Fish Hatchery near Indian Ford Springs indicates the region's historical and ongoing reliance on the river's ecosystem.

Evidence of early 20th-century boundary surveys and transportation is preserved here, specifically the Old RR Grade and historical survey lines like the Campbell Line (1906) and Pecore Line (1921-22). Notable landmarks such as Outlet Falls and Wonder Spring highlight the unique hydrologic features of the basin, while the small settlement of Outlet and the Outlet Creek Campground serve as localized hubs near the Mill Pond.
