About this map

The Boylston Mountains dominate this central Washington landscape, where high-desert drainage patterns have carved a network of coulees and canyons. The modern transportation corridor of Interstate 90 bisects the terrain, running parallel to the historic Vantage Hwy. Along the old rail and road routes, the named settlements of Boylston and Cheviot represent the sparse human footprint in this arid region, which is primarily defined by seasonal water sources such as Whiskey Dick Cr and several named springs.

Technological infrastructure is evident at the Kittitas Micro-Wave Station, situated near Schnebly Coulee. The topography reveals the dramatic relief of Johnson Canyon and Middle Canyon, illustrating how the land was surveyed across townships T17N R21E and T16N R21E. This 2013 edition details the persistent geographical features like Buckhorn Spring and Foster Cr that have long dictated the movement of people and livestock through Kittitas County.
