About this map

The Yakima River carves a deep path through the canyon lands of Kittitas County, anchoring several small riverside settlements along its course. This 2020 survey details the geographic orientation of Umtanum, Wymer, and Roza, where the river and the parallel Canyon Rd serve as the primary north-south arteries. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Baldy and along the Umtanum Ridge, which rises sharply above the valley floor.

A network of seasonal water sources and drainages like Scorpion Coulee Cr and Burbank Cr cut through the high plateaus, while several named springs such as Gus Spring and Windy Spring provide rare water points in the arid hills. The presence of the Take Five Airport near Roza and the agricultural pocket of Burbank Valley highlights the modern land use in this traditionally isolated corridor of the Pacific Northwest.
