2017 Map of Weissenfels Ridge

About this map

Weissenfels Ridge defines the high ground of this Asotin County landscape, where the terrain is deeply incised by a network of steep draws and gulches. The small settlement of Craige sits in the southeastern corner, serving as a rare point of habitation in a region primarily shaped by its drainage patterns. Watercourses like Tenmile Cr, Mill Cr, and Kelly Cr carve through the plateau, creating the dramatic relief that dictates the placement of rural roads. Genealogists and local historians will find the Theon Cem situated along the western edge of the ridge, a quiet landmark amidst family-named features such as Ayers Gulch, Hoskins Gulch, and Beckman Gulch. This 2017 survey reveals how the modern road network, including Weissenfels Ridge Rd and Mill Creek Rd, continues to follow the natural contours of the land.
