1953 Map of Boylston

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail lines dominate this mid-century topographic survey of the Yakima River watershed's high country. The route winds through the Boylston Mountains, connecting the small railroad settlements of Boylston and Cheviot. This landscape is defined by its dramatic erosion patterns, featuring the deep incisions of Schnebly Coulee and Rocky Coulee as they descend toward the Columbia basin. Vital water sources like Pinson Spring and Foster Spring provided the necessary resources for early high-desert activity, while the modern era is marked by the presence of the Kittitas Micro-Wave Sta Tower. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before major development, documenting the winding course of Whiskey Dick Creek and the steep walls of Johnson Canyon.
