About this map

High elevations in the central Cascades define this 1960s landscape, where the Snoqualmie National Forest meets the northern boundary of the Yakima Indian Reservation. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and glacial features, notably at Blue Slide and the Blue Slide Lookout Tower, which provides a vantage point over the complex drainage systems of the South Fork Tieton River and the North Fork Ahtanum Creek.

Remote backcountry access is shown through a network of pack trails and jeep tracks connecting isolated meadows like Buckhorn Meadows and Minnie Meadows. For the local historian or outdoor researcher, the map captures specific high-country landmarks such as Darland Mtn and the narrow passage at Narrowneck Gap. These features, along with localized water sources like Withrow Spring and Strobach Springs, illustrate the logistical realities of high-altitude forest management and traditional land use before more modern road developments.
