About this map

Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape in the mid-1960s, defined by the sharp verticality of the Divide and prominent heights like Strobach Mtn and Dome Peak. The drainage patterns of the South Fork and North Fork of Nasty Creek carve deep valleys through the timbered highlands, revealing a network of remote meadows such as Golden Meadow and Pickle Prairie Meadows.

Logistics and backcountry access are centered on the Ahtanum Guard Sta near the southern boundary, where the confluence of Ahtanum Creek and its forks provides a focal point for activity. The presence of the Ahtanum Meadows and Dead Horse Flats suggests a high-altitude grazing or camping history, while a Gravel Pit and various Jeep Trails hint at the active forest management and resource extraction common to this era in Yakima County.
