About this map

Frost Mountain rises as the central landmark in this Kittitas County landscape, defined by the headwaters of several major creek systems. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment dominated by National Forest infrastructure and natural openings such as Gooseberry Flat and Grasshopper Flat. The area's history of seasonal grazing and recreation is evidenced by the Manastash Cow Camp and several backcountry access points, including the South Fork Meadow Trailhead and Tamarack Spring Campground.

Drainage patterns are intricate, with North Fork Taneum Creek and South Fork Manastash Creek carving deep into the terrain. Remote features such as Lost Lake and the various meadow complexes like Keenan Meadows and Buck Meadows suggest a landscape used for both resource management and wilderness exploration. A network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev RD 31, provides the primary connective tissue across the ridges and gulches.
