1970 Map of Fairview Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Yakima Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century topographic study, which defines the transition from high ridgelines to the deep river valleys of south-central Washington. The Klickitat River snakes through the southwestern corner of the sheet, providing a primary drainage point for tributaries like the Diamond Meadow Fork and Coyote Creek. Evidence of early 20th-century land management is clearly marked by the Old Indian Reservation Boundary (Campbell Line 1906-07), which traces a historical property line across the high country. Small-scale outposts like Kesslers Ranch and Klickitat Camp offer rare markers of human habitation in a landscape otherwise defined by prominent landmarks such as Fairview Ridge, Sheep Point, and the unusual depression of Cultus Hole. The network of seasonal springs and the Old Maid Piscoe Road suggest a landscape used primarily for ranching and resource management.
