About this map

Coal mining heritage and mountain transport routes define the landscape around Ronald and Roslyn in this Kittitas County survey. The northern portion of the map is heavily marked by the region's industrial past, featuring the Roslyn-Cascade Mine No 4, No 3 Mine, and several Strip Mines, alongside numerous Adits and Mine Dumps. These operations sit just below the steep ascent of Easton Ridge and the Domerie Flats near the southern shore of Cle Elum Lake.

The central valley is carved by the Yakima River and the Cle Elum River, which converge near the small settlements of Nelson and Bullfrog. Following the river corridor is the John Wayne Pioneer State Park Trail, a repurposed rail grade that represents the transition from industrial hauling to recreational use. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Wenatchee National Forest, where landmarks like Hicks Butte look over the headwaters of Taneum Creek.
