1989 Map of Bandera

About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape, defined by the drainage of the South Fork Snoqualmie River and high Cascades peaks. The map reveals the imprint of early industrial transit and resource extraction, notably the Old RR Grade and several Quarries that follow the river valley. The settlement at Garcia and the historic Bandera (Site) serve as anchors along the valley floor, while the Gaging Sta and Landing Strip point to the logistical management of this mountain pass. High-elevation lakes including Mason Lake, Pratt Lake, and Talapus Lake are shown in detail, nested beneath summits like McClellan Butte and Mount Defiance. This 1980s record documents the intersection of public recreation at Tinkham Campground and the protected Cedar River Watershed Boundary near Mount Kent.
