1966 Map of Colockum Pass SW

About this map

Kittitas Valley agriculture and ranching infrastructure define this mid-1960s landscape, where a dense network of irrigation and transport supports scattered rural settlements. The map illustrates the transition from the high canyons of the north, including Cave Canyon and Burnt Canyon, to the organized section lines of the valley floor. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Pyle Canal and Canal No 2 alongside the natural flows of Naneum Creek and Wilson Creek.
