About this map

Fairview Hall stands as a local landmark in this transition from the lower Kittitas valley floor to the ascending drainage systems of the eastern Cascades. The landscape is defined by a series of south-running watercourses, including Naneum Creek, Wilson Creek, and Schnebly Creek, which have carved distinctive geological features such as Schnebly Canyon and Charlton Canyon.

Transport and land use patterns are reflected in the grid of rural roads and larger ranching tracks, such as Brick Mill Rd and Vantage Hwy. The northern portion of the map transitions into more complex terrain where Dawson Canyon and Coleman Canyon illustrate the headwaters and canyons that feed the valley below. This 2011 survey documents the persistent agricultural and ranching infrastructure that has shaped this part of Washington for generations.
