2011 Map of Bluelight

About this map

Bluelight and the surrounding rangeland of Yakima County are defined by a network of seasonal water sources and rural access roads in this 2011 survey. The landscape is marked by numerous vital water points such as Martinet Spring, Matson Spring, and Donohue Spring, which speak to the area's agricultural and ranching history. The presence of Donoho Ranch and labels like Mammoth Tusk Spring suggest a territory where local landmarks are often tied to specific family holdings and paleontological or geographical curiosities. Central to the drainage of this arid region is Glade Creek, which winds through the northern half of the quadrangle. The map captures the organized grid of the valley floor with corridors like County Line Rd and Ferguson Rd, providing a clear record of the modern infrastructure supporting this remote part of Washington state.
