About this map

The Columbia River carves a deep path through Kittitas County in this 2011 survey, defining the eastern boundary of a landscape shaped by dramatic geological features like Box Canyon and Patte Canyon. Near the river's edge, Scammon Landing serves as a notable riverside point of reference, while a small residential street grid including Section Ave and River Dr SW marks a pocket of development against the arid interior.

The hydrologic network is dense with seasonal and perennial streams that drain toward the main river channel. Water management is evident at the Quilomene Creek Dam along Quilomene Creek, while various forks and springs like Bohnkleman Spring and the North Fork Whiskey Dick Creek suggest the complex drainage patterns of the high desert. Primitive routes such as Army Rd and Perkins Rd provide the primary access into the interior canyons and creek beds.
