2014 Map of Milk Canyon

About this map

Cleman Mtn dominates this Yakima County landscape, where the high ridges of the Cascades transition toward the valleys of central Washington. The northern portion of the map is defined by the Wenas Valley and the small settlement of Wenas, situated at the intersection of Maloy RD and N Wenas RD. This area shows a complex drainage system where the S Fork Wenas Cr and Wenas Cr flow through a series of named canyons like Evans Canyon and Milk Canyon. To the southwest, the Naches River carves a dramatic path through Horseshoe Bend near the Nile Valley. The presence of several named flats and springs, such as Fisher Flat and Sandstone Spring, suggests a history of localized grazing and water management in this high-elevation terrain, while Bethel Ridge RD marks the southern high ground near Bethel Ridge.
