About this map

Columbia River frontage and the expansive waters of Wanapum Lake dominate the eastern boundary of this Kittitas County landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, where the high desert plateau breaks into steep-walled landforms like Box Canyon and the prominent Babcock Bench. Multiple seasonal drainage systems, including Quilomene Cr and the north and south forks of Skookumchuck Cr, have carved deep coulees through the basalt as they descend toward the river valley.

Water sources such as Bohinkleman Spring and Kohler Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment characterized by features like Frenchman Coulee and Patte Canyon. While the western portion of the map shows a network of named creeks like Whiskey Dick Cr and Rollinger Cr, the residential footprint is concentrated along the riverbanks, where roads like Sunland Rd and River Dr SW provide access to the shoreline developments.
