About this map

The Yakima River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Kittitas County, defining the settlement patterns of small localities like Umtanum, Wymer, and Roza. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, where Umtanum Ridge and the high point at Baldy overlook narrow canyons and coulees. Transportation follows the water, with Wa-821 hugging the riverbanks and connecting these isolated points of habitation.

Evidence of local land use appears in Burbank Valley and the specialized Take Five Airport near Roza View Dr. Natural springs, including Gus Spring and Tendollar Spring, are scattered across the higher ground of McPherson Canyon and Scorpion Coulee, indicating the vital importance of water sources in this arid landscape. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t16n r19e, which structure the rural property lines of the region.
