1965 Map of Logy Creek NE

About this map

Logy Creek and its complex system of tributaries carve through this high-elevation territory in the Yakima region, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainages. The 1960s terrain is marked by isolated landmarks that suggest a reliance on small-scale aviation and livestock management, most notably the Landing Strip situated on a high plateau. Water sources are critical here, evidenced by the numerous named flows like Dry Creek, Spring Creek, and Lizzy Spring Canyon, many of which appear to follow structural folds in the earth such as the prominent bend known as the Elbow. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Towatmy Cem and Simpson Cem, which are linked by remote tracks like Cemetery Road. These features, along with a high-country Jeep Trail, provide evidence of established routes and familial sites within a topographic environment characterized by sharp elevation changes between creek beds and ridge lines.
