2020 Map of Snively Basin

About this map

Hanford Reach National Monument and the Saddle Mountain National Wildlife Refuge dominate this high-desert landscape in Benton County. The terrain is defined by dramatic relief, transitioning from the alluvial flats near Dry Creek and Cold Creek in the north to the formidable heights of Rattlesnake Mtn in the southeast. This area, largely preserved from modern development, maintains a primitive character with numerous named springs such as Lower Snively Spring, Snively Spring, and Doke Spring providing critical water sources in the arid environment.
