2003 Map of Swauk Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 2006

About this map

Swauk Prairie dominates this landscape in the early 2000s, where the forested slopes of the Wenatchee National Forest meet the lower agricultural and ranching valleys of Kittitas County. The map provides significant genealogical value through the Swauk Prairie Cem, located near the intersection of W Ballard Hill Road and Ley Road. Settlement patterns are concentrated around nodes like Lauderdale Junction and the Green Canyon Ranch, reflecting a transition from public timberlands to private holdings. The complex water management of the region is evidenced by the North Branch Canal and numerous named drainages including Williams Creek and First Creek. Topographical features such as Ballard Hill and the dramatic drop into Hidden Valley illustrate the varied terrain. Several quarries appear throughout the southern canyons, suggesting local industrial activity within the folds of Horse Canyon and Green Canyon.
