2011 Map of Silcott Island

About this map

Alpowa and the surrounding riverfront settlements define this stretch of the Snake River in Asotin County. The landscape is dominated by the deep incisions of Steptoe Canyon and Stuart Canyon, which cut through the high plateaus of the Steptoe Lower Range. Along the water, the geography reveals the complex intersection of land and river management, notably at Silcott Island and the neighboring landing at Nisqually John Landing. Significant local landmarks include the Indian Timothy Bridge and the rising elevation of Flerchinger Ridge to the south. The movement of traffic is facilitated by routes like Silcott Rd and Wawawai River Rd, which trace the difficult topography of the river's edge and the tributary drainages of Alpowa Creek and Dry Creek. This map highlights the area's transition from the river basin to the rugged upland ridges.
