About this map

Wanapum Lake and the Columbia River dominate the eastern corridor of this landscape, forming the border between Kittitas and Grant counties. The shoreline at Scammon Landing marks a key point of river access near the dramatic basalt formations of Frenchman Coulee. Inland, the terrain is defined by deep incisions and drainage systems including Box Canyon and Patte Canyon.

A network of seasonal creeks and named springs, such as Bohinkleman Spring and Kohler Spring, suggests a reliance on specific water sources in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to functional paths like Army Rd and Perkins Rd, which traverse the high ground between the various forks of Quilomene Cr and Whiskey Dick Cr. The township and range lines indicate a large-scale land division across this complex topography of ridges and coulees.
