About this map

Wahkiacus occupies a strategic bend in the Klickitat River where its waters meet the Little Klickitat River. This early 1980s survey reveals a landscape of high plateau prairies and deeply incised canyons. To the south, High Prairie and Crofton Prairie overlook the dramatic descent into Swale Canyon, while the northern reaches include the Klickitat State Wildlife Recreation Area.

Evidence of the region's essential utilities and transportation is found in the Natural Gas Pipeline cutting through the southern townships and the Private Rd networks navigating the slopes above Horseshoe Bend. Key landmarks like The Tepee and hydrological points such as Klickitat Springs and Maddock Springs highlight the importance of water management and natural navigation in this part of Klickitat County.
