2020 Map of Doris

About this map

Saddle Mountains dominate the central topography of this Kittitas County landscape, where deep drainages like Hanson Cr and Cottonwood Cr carve through the high desert terrain. The area's transportation history is preserved through the Palouse To Cascades State Park Trail, which follows the historic railroad grade across the northern sections. This corridor links the small settlements of Rye and Doris, reflecting the legacy of the rail-to-trail conversion that maintains these remote outposts as modern landmarks. The map illustrates a stark, arid landscape where seasonal watercourses such as Johnson Cr define the movement of the land between the high ridges and the historical transit routes that once moved freight through central Washington.
