1953 Map of Doris

About this map

The Saddle Mountains define the northern landscape of this mid-century Kittitas County survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad follows the natural corridor of Johnson Creek. Small rail stops like Doris and Rye mark the line, serving as isolated points of activity before the track bends away from the high ridgelines. Most of the southern half of the quadrangle is occupied by the Yakima Firing Center Military Reservation, reflecting the Cold War era's significant military footprint in the Washington interior.
