About this map

Hinkleman Canyon and Lone Pine Canyon define the north-central topography of this Kittitas County landscape, where water sources like Hinkleman Spring and Sheridan Spring provided vital points of orientation in a high-desert environment. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of the S Fork Tarpiscan Cr and the main stem of Tarpiscan Cr as they cut through the upland terrain.

Southward, the land is carved by a series of named ravines including Brewton Gulch, Horse Canyon, and Dry Gulch. These features, alongside the N Fork Brushy Cr and Tekison Cr, illustrate the complex erosion patterns of the region. The absence of modern development on this map emphasizes the wilderness character of the area, making it a valuable resource for understanding the natural geography and traditional land divisions such as t20n r21e and t19n r21e.
