About this map

Wanapum Lake dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, carving through the high desert of Central Washington along the Kittitas and Grant county line. The steep basalt terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Babcock Bench and the narrow passage of Box Canyon. A complex network of drainages including Quilomene Cr, Skookumchuck Cr, and Whiskey-Dick Cr flows eastward toward the reservoir, reflecting a classic Columbia Basin watershed pattern. On the western shore of the lake, a small cluster of residential roads such as Sunland Rd and River Dr Sw suggests a localized riverside community. Higher in the western hills, isolated water sources like Bohinkleman Spring and Kohler Spring mark the few reliable points in an otherwise arid environment characterized by features like Patte Canyon and Dry Gulch.
