Central Washington University anchors the northern edge of the city, where the urban grid meets the agricultural expanse of the Kittitas Valley. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape defined by water management, tracing the complex system of the North Branch Canal, Cascade Canal, and Ellensburg Power Canal that feed the local economy. North of the city center, the terrain transitions into more rural territory, dotted with family-named roads and critical aviation infrastructure like Bowers Field and the Rotor Ranch Airport. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map includes the locations of the Holy Cross Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, while the Palouse To Cascades State Park Trail follows the path of a former railway through the southern section of the quadrangle along the Ellensburg Power Canal.
