2011 Map of Wood Gulch

About this map

Columbia River shoreline dominates the southern edge of this Klickitat County landscape, where the terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks into a network of canyons and upland ranches. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems including Pine Creek, Coyote Creek, and Sixprong Creek, which carve through the high ground. Named family operations like the Goodknight Ranch and Whitmore Ranch are connected by a sparse grid of rural routes such as East Rd and Roosevelt Grade Rd. Near the water's edge, the small settlement at Wood Gulch sits adjacent to Railroad Ave, reflecting the historic importance of the river corridor for transportation. Further inland, distinctive geographical markers like Big Horn Canyon and Juniper Canyon provide clear reference points for the transition from the river valley to the expansive northern plateau.
