1985 Map of Swauk Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Swauk Prairie sits at the foot of Teanaway Ridge, where the complex drainage of the Wenatchee National Forest meets the agricultural lands of Kittitas County. This mid-1980s data shows a landscape transitioning from the steep gulches of the north—such as Pine Gulch and Harkness Gulch—into the irrigated valley floor. The settlement of Liberty and the crossroads at Lauderdale Junction anchor the northern corridor, while the southern edge is defined by the Yakima River and the infrastructure of the North Branch Canal. Transport and utility networks are prominent, including the Burlington Northern railroad and a Steel Tower Transmission Line cutting across the eastern canyons. For genealogists, the Swauk Prairie Cem provides a specific point of local historical continuity amidst the shifting terrain of Hidden Valley and Horse Canyon.
