About this map

Satus Pass serves as a critical mountain crossing within the Simcoe Mountains, anchoring a landscape defined by the convergence of the East Prong Little Klickitat River and the West Prong Little Klickitat River. This 2011 survey captures the transition from the high peaks of Simcoe Butte down into the expansive Munson Prairie. The mapping reveals a detailed network of rural routes, including the historic path of Old Stage Rd and recreational footprints like the Brooks Memorial State Park Ski Area.

Geographic features such as Idlewood Canyon and Highland Canyon highlight the erosive force of the local waterways, while names like Chickasaw Trl and Indian Basin Rd provide clues to the cultural history and land use patterns of this Klickitat County region. The map tracks the winding course of Jenkins Creek and Butler Creek, illustrating the complex drainage systems that feed the Little Klickitat River.
