About this map

Naneum Canyon and the surrounding high-elevation drainage systems define this portion of the Wenatchee NF in Kittitas County. The landscape is characterized by deep incisions from Naneum Cr, Coleman Cr, and Swift Cr, punctuated by high plateaus like Croker Flat and Walter Flat. These flatlands and the Naneum Basin suggest the geography of traditional high-country grazing and seasonal movement within the national forest boundary.

A network of mountain access routes including Schnebly Rd and Dawson Canyon Rd provides the primary infrastructure through these steep canyons. Factual markers such as Leonard Spring and Gustafson Spring serve as critical water points in an otherwise arid and dissected terrain. The map captures the distinct boundary between Township 20 North and Township 19 North, showing how these administrative survey lines cross natural features like Schnebly Canyon and Trail Gulch.
