2020 Map of Camas Patch

About this map

Camas Patch sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain within the Yakima Nation lands, where a complex network of seasonal drainages defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by prominent ridges and deep incisions, notably Toppenish Ridge in the north and the dramatic Wall Canyon to the east. Water management and natural flow are central to the area's character, evidenced by the convergence of the N Fork Dry Cr, Middle Fork Dry Cr, and S Fork Dry Cr. This 2020 survey captures a region primarily organized around Bureau of Indian Affairs transit routes, such as Bia RD 144 and Bia RD 172, which navigate between descriptive landmarks like Whiskey Jim Flat and Starvation Flats. The presence of Dry Creek Falls suggests the abrupt changes in elevation that dictate the local hydrology.
