2011 Map of Badger Gap

About this map

Manastash Ridge dominates the western skyline of this central Washington landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions toward the Columbia Basin. The namesake Badger Gap serves as a critical geographic passage in the northern half of the sheet, providing a natural corridor through the ridgelines. Water sources are scarce and defined by the seasonal drainage of Badger Creek and the headwaters of Lmuma Creek, which includes its North Fork. The human footprint is marked by a sparse network of rural routes such as Upper Badger Pocket Rd and Carlat Rd, illustrating the intersection of open rangeland and the systematic road grid typical of the Kittitas Valley's edge.
