2011 Map of Ronald

About this map

The Roslyn Cascade Mine 4 and Number 3 Canyon highlight the industrial history of this Kittitas County corridor, where the settlement of Ronald sits just south of the Cle Elum River. This 2011 survey captures the transition from historic mining operations to modern recreation near Cle Elum Dam, showing a landscape shaped by both resource extraction and water management. Further west, the terrain rises sharply toward the Easton Ridge Lookout, overlooking the Domerie Flats and the valley where the Yakima River flows. Small rail-side locations like Lavender and Nelson punctuate the transportation lines that parallel the river, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the steep slopes of Hicks Butte and the drainages of Butte Creek and North Fork Taneum Creek.
