1958 Map of Ellensburg North

About this map

The Kittitas Valley landscape shown here reflects the agricultural and educational expansion of central Washington following the mid-century. At the heart of the map is the campus of the Central Washington College of Education, positioned north of the main Ellensburg town center. The surrounding rural areas are defined by a complex irrigation network, including the North Branch Canal, Cascade Canal, and Town Canal, which transformed the arid valley floor into productive farmland.
