About this map

Ellensburg and the surrounding Kittitas Valley are defined by a complex network of natural and engineered waterways. The Yakima River flows along the southwestern edge, while numerous smaller streams like Reecer Creek and Currier Creek descend from the northern hills. This agricultural and educational hub is home to the campus of Central Washington University and infrastructure like the North Branch Canal and Ellensburg Power Canal, which highlight the region's reliance on water management.

North of the main settlement, the landscape transitions toward the small community of Woldale and the aviation activity at Bowers Field Airport. Local history is anchored by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery, providing essential landmarks for genealogical research. The map also traces established transit corridors including Highway 97 and a grid of rural roads such as Reeceer Creek Road and Smithson Road.
