1985 Map of Teanaway

About this map

Teanaway River and the Yakima River converge in this mid-1980s landscape, marking a vital water corridor in Kittitas County. The terrain is defined by the massive Cle Elum Ridge to the north and the expansive L T Murray State Wildlife Recreation Area to the south. Small settlements like Teanaway and Bristol sit alongside the Burlington Northern railroad, reflecting the historic transportation network of the region. Between the river bends, the land transitions from the high elevations of Lookout Mountain and Indian John Hill to the agricultural reaches of Swauk Prairie. This 1985 survey captures the area’s industrial and conservation footprint, showing various resource extraction points such as a Gravel Pit and several quarries, as well as the path of an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier logistical routes through Horseshoe Canyon.
