1985 Map of Swauk Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Swauk Prairie occupies a distinct plateau in Kittitas County, where the transition from forest to valley floor is marked by the Wenatchee National Forest and the prominent Teanaway Ridge. This mid-1980s landscape reflects a history of small-scale mountain settlement and resource use, centered around the community of Liberty and the intersection at Lauderdale Junction. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous gulches and canyons, including Robinson Gulch and Horse Canyon, which drain into the southern Yakima River corridor. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Swauk Prairie Cem and remnants of local industry, such as a Quarry near the river. The map also records rural landmarks like the Green Canyon Ranch and the winding course of Swauk Creek, illustrating the remote but established nature of these Kittitas mountain foothills.
