About this map

The Northern Pacific RR follows the Yakima River corridor through the heart of Kittitas County, connecting a string of late-nineteenth-century rail stops and mining centers. Coal mining activity is centered on the Roslyn Branch near Roslyn and Cle Elum, while the eastern canyons around Meaghersville and Liberty show the development of gold mining districts in the Wenatchee Mountains. Agriculture and transport define the southern and eastern landscape, where the valley opens into Swauk Prairie and the irrigated lands surrounding Ellensburg. High-altitude features like Snow Creek Glacier and Mt. Stuart dominate the northern wilderness, contrasting with the settled agricultural pockets at Thorp and Dudley. This survey captures the region as it transitioned from a frontier mining and timber economy to a more established railway and ranching hub.
