2023 Map of Bluelight

About this map

Bluelight sits at the intersection of Blue Light Rd and Co Line Rd, marking the border between Yakima and Klickitat counties. This arid landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and deep drainage systems, including Juniper Canyon and Spring Canyon. The map reveals a high concentration of named springs, such as Mammoth Tusk Spring, Martinet Spring, and Bedground Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for early livestock grazing and cross-country transit in this dry interior region. The terrain rises toward the prominent Sand Ridge in the southeast, while a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA Rd 19 and BIA Rd 7 underscores the historical and ongoing importance of tribal land management. The road network, including the Mabton-Bickleton Rd, follows the natural contours formed by Glade Creek and its surrounding ridgelines.
