1902 Map of Mt Stuart

USGS Topo · Published 1927

About this map

Ellensburg sits at the base of the fertile Kittitas Valley, serving as the southern anchor for a region transitioning from agricultural plains to high mountain peaks. The late 19th-century survey work reveals an industrial corridor defined by the Northern Pacific R. R. as it follows the river through Thorp, Bristol, and Teanaway toward the coal mining hub of Roslyn. North of the tracks, the landscape rises sharply into the Wenatchee Mountains and the heights of Mt Stuart, where high-altitude features like the Snow Creek Glacier and Twin Lakes dominate. Small mining and timber outposts such as Blewett, Liberty, and Meaghersville are tucked into the drainages of Peshastin Creek and Swauk Creek, illustrating the early 1900s push for mineral extraction in the forested interior of the Wenatchee National Forest.
