About this map

Pinegrass Ridge and Whites Ridge dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Snoqualmie National Forest, reflecting the rugged watershed management of the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the steep descent of the South Fork Tieton River and the headwaters of Ahtanum Creek, punctuated by remote high-mountain meadows like Buckhorn Meadows and Jayhawk Flats.

Evidence of fire lookout history and seasonal access is clear through the presence of the Blue Slide Lookout Tower and numerous pack trails, including the Short and Dirty Ridge Trail. The area features several distinct geological and hydrological points of interest, such as Blue Lake, Green Lake, and the peculiar natural depression known as Dead Hole. These landmarks, alongside named springs like Strobach Springs and Withrow Spring, trace the essential water sources for 20th-century forest rangers and back-country travelers.
