1985 Map of Taneum Canyon

About this map

Cle Elum Ridge and the deep incisions of Taneum Canyon dominate this part of the Washington backcountry in the mid-1980s. The landscape is primarily defined by large-scale conservation and resource management, spanning the Wenatchee National Forest and several state-managed territories, including the L T Murray State Wildlife Recreation Area. This terrain reflects a transition from the high ridges down toward Thorp Prairie, where drainage systems like Taneum Creek and North Fork Manastash Creek have carved significant gulches such as Robinson Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. For those tracing historical land use, the map identifies specific points of activity including several Gravel Pits, a Quarry, and the Taneum Forest Service Station. Remote high-elevation spots like Taneum Meadow and Whisky Flats are connected by a network of unimproved roads like Shell Rock Road, used for forest access and wildlife management.
