About this map

Asotin Cr and Rockpile Creek carve deep through the plateau landscape of southeast Washington in this recent survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches—including Chambers Gulch, Maguire Gulch, and Stringtown Gulch—that drain toward the central watercourses. This drainage pattern highlights the erosional character of the region, where narrow ridges like Meyer Ridge separate steep-walled valleys.

Evidence of human activity is primarily found in the upland roads and scattered infrastructure. Remote access is provided by routes such as Asotin Creek Rd and Peola Rd, while the Hawks Run Airport sits in the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map also records numerous seasonal or small tributaries like George Cr, Pintler Cr, and Kelly Cr, which emphasize the complex hydrology of these canyon-cut highlands.
