About this map

Manastash Ridge dominates this 1971 landscape, serving as a high divide between the drainage systems of the north and south. The map captures a detailed network of primitive roads and jeep trails, such as Barber Springs Road and Hog Ranch Road, that provide access to the remote high country. These routes connect small seasonal or resource-based sites like Wenas Camp and the uniquely named The Island in the northwest.

The southern portion of the sheet opens into the Wenas Valley, where the North Fork Wenas Creek and Wenas Creek converge. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes between the valley floor and the plateau, cut by deep features like Cow Canyon and Dry Canyon. This survey provides a clear look at the transitional terrain where the Kittitas and Yakima county line crosses the high ridges, a region characterized by its hydrological network including Hudson Creek and Umtanum Creek.
