About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Kittitas County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of two major drainage systems. In the north, the North Fork and South Fork Taneum Creek carve deep valleys around Taneum Ridge, while the southern portion is shaped by the North Fork and South Fork Manastash Creek.

Several open mountain meadows and flats, including Grasshopper Flat, Gnat Flat, and Frost Meadows, suggest a landscape historically utilized for seasonal grazing and resource extraction. Evidence of industrial activity is visible in the scattered quarries and gravel pits found along the forest roads. Recreation and transit are marked by established routes like the Taneum Ridge Trail and Manastash Ridge Trail, providing access to landmarks such as Frost Mountain and the high waters of Manastash Lake.
