About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Yakima County, where the Klickitat Divide separates the drainages of the Diamond Fork and the Klickitat River. The topography is characterized by a series of high ridges and meadows, including Fairview Ridge and Butte Meadows. These features suggest a landscape traditionally used for seasonal grazing and timber management, accessed by forest routes such as Bia Rd 255 and the Old Maid Piscoe Rd.

Smaller natural openings like Caldwell Prairie and Klickitat Meadow provide a contrast to the surrounding timbered slopes. Along the northern edge, Coyote Creek and Guiltin Creek flow through deeply incised valleys, while Maiden Springs marks a specific water source on the eastern flank of the quadrangle. The map documents the persistent geography of the Cascades, from Sheep Point in the south to the headwaters of Piscoe Creek.
