About this map

Camas Patch sits at the center of this drainage network in Yakima County, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Dry Creek, Middle Fork Dry Creek, and South Fork Dry Creek. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate system of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Bia 125 RD and Bia 164 RD, which navigate the high flats and deep canyons of the Yakama Indian Reservation.

Evidence of the region's geography is found in evocative place names like Whiskey Jim Flat and Starvation Flats, suggesting a history of difficult passage or seasonal use. The terrain breaks sharply at Wall Canyon and near Dry Creek Falls, illustrating the transition from open plateaus to the carved waterways of Fortyday Creek and White Fir Creek. This map is particularly useful for understanding the modern infrastructure and natural water features of this specific upland environment.
