About this map

Riley Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Washington County, overlooking a landscape defined by high ridges and drainage basins. This 2017 survey shows the intricate network of watercourses that shape the terrain, including Milk Cr, N Crane Cr, and the appropriately named Swamp Cr. The geography is characterized by expansive elevated plains like Big Flat and timbered heights such as Willow Ridge and Tennison Ridge.

Remote access is provided by a few established routes, including Riley Butte Rd and N Crane Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. For researchers of the local landscape, the map identifies specific water sources like Denton Spring and the steep incisions of Road Gulch. The arrangement of these features illustrates the watershed patterns feeding into Hog Cr and Spring Cr, providing a detailed look at the drainage systems in this part of the Idaho-Washington border region.
