2020 Map of Kittitas

About this map

Kittitas Valley is defined by an intricate network of water management and agricultural infrastructure, where the Town Canal, Cascade Canal, and Turbine Ditch support the region's productive farmlands. The town of Kittitas sits at the junction of several historical transportation routes, including the Palouse To Cascades State Park Trail which follows an old rail alignment through the heart of the settlement. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly as the valley floor rises toward Vanderbilt Gap, marking the transition from irrigated plains to more complex topographic features. This 2020 record of the landscape reveals a distinctive density of private aviation sites, including J K D Farms Airport, Hillcrest Farms Airport, and Beiter Airport, illustrating the modern intersection of large-scale farming and local transport in Kittitas County.
