About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Yakima County, where the terrain transitions across the Klickton Divide. Water defines the geography, with the headwaters of the S Fork Tieton River flowing through the northern reaches while the N Fork Ahtanum Cr and Middle Fork Ahtanum Cr drain the eastern slopes. High-country landmarks such as Darland Mtn and Divide Ridge separate these vital watersheds.

The presence of several alpine water bodies, including Blue Lake, Green Lake, and Little Lake, suggests the glacial and volcanic history of the region. Distinctive place names like Bakeoven Flats, Short and Dirty Ridge, and Dead Hole reflect the local heritage and the experience of early travelers through these passes. Forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 1020, provide the primary access to these remote pockets and meadows.
