About this map

The Horse Heaven Hills dominate this portion of south-central Washington, where the landscape is defined by a series of deep drainage systems cutting through the high basalt plateau. The Yakima and Klickitat county line bisects the territory, following the path of Co Line Rd across the southern half. This sparsely populated agricultural and rangeland region is anchored by the Glade Cem located near Glade Creek, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the local ranching community.

A network of named canyons, including Coyote Canyon, Tule Canyon, and Dead Canyon, reveals the complex erosion patterns that have shaped the terrain over millennia. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of rural routes such as Mabton-Bickleton Rd and Ridge Rd, which navigate the high points like Kimbrell Ridge. The presence of these named landmarks and isolated family roads provides essential detail for researchers tracing the geography of the inland Northwest.
