About this map

Bickleton sits at the southern edge of this Yakima and Klickitat county borderland, serving as a focal point for the surrounding high country. The landscape is defined by the prominent Mule Butte and the sprawling Horse Heaven Hills, where deep drainages like Lucy Canyon and Mule Dry Creek carve through the terrain. This rural area preserves several local historical sites, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Methodist Cem near the town center, while the Beaver Cem lies further north along Yakima Chief Rd. The survey reveals a network of high-elevation watercourses such as Alder Creek and Pine Creek that dictate the placement of early roads like Pine Creek Rd and Nelson Rd. Unique geological features like The Island and Glady Creek further characterize this corner of the state, where agriculture and topography have long shaped settlement patterns.
