2020 Map of Badger Gap

About this map

Manastash Ridge and Umtanum Ridge dominate this Kittitas County landscape, defining a series of high-desert folds between the Yakima and Columbia rivers. The terrain is marked by a clear distinction between the arid uplands and the managed water systems of the north. At the base of the ridges, infrastructure like the Gravity Ditch and Pump Ditch reveals the complex history of irrigation required to support agriculture in Badger Pocket. Drainage patterns are carved by Badger Cr and the N Fork Lmuma Cr, which slice through the elevations at Badger Gap. Local roads such as Silica Rd and Bohannon Rd follow the natural contours of the basin, providing access to this historically significant cattle and farming region.
