1967 Map of Darland Mtn

About this map

Darland Mtn anchors the southern portion of this landscape where the Yakima Indian Reservation meets the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The map captures a high-elevation wilderness defined by prominent geologic divides, including Divide Ridge and Whites Ridge. Water resources are central to the terrain, with the South Fork Tieton River and its tributaries like Spruce Creek and Short and Dirty Creek carving through the ridges. Recreational access is marked by the South Fork Campground and Grey Creek Campground, while seasonal meadows like Buckhorn Meadows and Minnie Meadows suggest the grazing and ecological transitions of the Cascades in the late 1960s. The presence of features like Narrowneck Gap and Bakeoven Flats provides specific landmarks for backcountry navigation and local history.
