2011 Map of Riverland

About this map

Riverland serves as the primary focal point of this arid Washington landscape, situated along the northern reach of the survey area. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent and ephemeral watercourses that reveal the natural drainage patterns of this high desert environment. Cold Creek dominates the central portion of the map, carving a diagonal path from the northwest toward the southeast. This drainage system is augmented by Dry Creek and Rattlesnake Creek in the south, which converge in a network of seasonal washes. The sparse distribution of named settlements emphasizes the rural and utilitarian nature of the land, where the infrastructure is largely composed of long, straight roadways and specialized facilities that reflect the industrial and agricultural requirements of the region during the early 21st century.
