1953 Map of Mc Donald Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Saddle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, creating a dramatic topographical backdrop for the Yakima Firing Center Military Reservation. The map records a transition from high ridges to the drainage systems of Squaw Creek and Cottonwood Creek in the south. Of particular interest for industrial history are the Silica Mines located in the southwestern corner, indicating the mineral extraction active in Kittitas County during this period. The terrain is defined by its water sources and rugged relief, with Mc Donald Spring providing a critical landmark in the high country. Drainage patterns like those of Hanson Creek and North Fork Squaw Creek illustrate the natural watershed of the Yakima region before later developments altered the landscape.
