About this map

Logy Creek Falls marks a dramatic point in the southern Yakima landscape, where the waters of Logy Creek drop through the steep terrain of Logy Canyon. This mid-1960s survey illustrates a region defined by its complex drainage network and high-elevation grazing lands. The vast Tannawasha Pasture dominates the lower third of the quadrangle, punctuated by essential water sources like Bergie Springs and the headwaters of Black Rock Creek.

A network of unimproved routes, including the descriptively named Dry Creek Elbow Road, provides the only access through a series of parallel east-west ridges. These ridges are separated by numerous named drainages such as Fortyday Creek, Knockout Creek, and Lousy Creek, reflecting the character of this rangeland. The presence of numerous jeep trails and intermittent streams like Dry Creek underscores the seasonal nature of land use in this part of Washington during the mid-20th century.
