About this map

Logy Creek Cow Camp marks the high-country activity of this mid-century landscape where the Yakima Co Klickitat Co border crosses the southern reaches. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including the Logy Creek and Satus Creek watersheds, punctuated by elevations like Simcoe Butte and the Simcoe Mts. The presence of Toweatmy Cem and several spring-fed sites like Highbridge Springs and County Line Spring suggests a history of localized settlement and seasonal migration.

Transportation through this rugged section of central Washington relied on a mix of improved surfaces and primitive routes. Researchers can trace the path of The Lane and the Charlie Wilson Road, which navigate the deep divides of Shinando Canyon and Lizzy Canyon. Industrial activity is localized to a Gravel Pit and a Borrow Pit, while natural landmarks like Logy Creek Falls remain prominent features of the watershed as documented in the mid-1960s.
