1961 Map of Kachess Lake

About this map

The Kachess Dam and the emerging recreation corridor along the Cle Elum River define this 1961 field-checked survey of the Kittitas County highlands. The settlement of Easton serves as a focal point near the southern boundary, where the Easton Airstrip and Lake Easton State Park sit adjacent to the rail lines. This era represents a period of transitioning land use within the Wenatchee National Forest, where resource extraction at the Elsnor Mine and Sting Mine coexists with a growing network of Forest Service infrastructure, including the Salmon la Sac Guard Sta.
