2011 Map of Cle Elum

About this map

The Yakima River valley serves as the central artery for this region, flanked by the industrial and residential corridors of Cle Elum and Roslyn. This landscape is deeply defined by its extractive history, with numerous named shafts such as Number 9 Mine, Number 6 Canyon, and the Rothlisberger Mine scattered throughout the surrounding ridges. The transportation network is a complex layering of old and new, where the Iron Horse Trl follows the historical rail alignment south of the river, passing through South Cle Elum. High above the valley floor, landmarks like Peoh Point and the Cle Elum Point Lookout provide vantage points over the developing infrastructure, including the Cle Elum Municipal Airport and the residential expansion of Suncadia Trl. The presence of Laurel Hill Memorial Cemetery and several canyons named for early families, such as Balmers Canyon and Steiners Canyon, anchor the map with significant genealogical and local-history value.
