1983 Map of Indian Rock

About this map

The Simcoe Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the southern portion of the Yakima Indian Reservation. At the time of this 1983 survey, the terrain is defined by its watershed and industrial infrastructure rather than urban settlement. Water sources like Morehead Spring and the Little Klickitat River contrast with seasonal features like Dry Lake and the steep walls of Devils Canyon. The map records the physical footprint of resource management and utilities across the ridgeline, noting a Gravel Pit alongside extensive networks of a Steel Tower Line, Power Line, and an Underground Pipeline. From the peak of Indian Rock down to the creek beds, the map provides a clear picture of how this high-country territory was partitioned and utilized in the early 1980s.
