About this map

The Columbia River cuts through this landscape, creating the treacherous Priest Rapids and shaping the steep elevations of Umtanum Ridge. This 1951 survey, conducted by the Geological Survey and Bureau of Reclamation, documents a region defined by large family holdings and early water management. Named landmarks like Emerson Nipple and Cairn Hope Pk provide orientation points across a terrain of deep canyons and high ridges.
