About this map

Jennies Butte rises over a landscape defined by an intricate network of alpine meadows and high-elevation water sources in Yakima County. The terrain transitions from the high ridges of Klickton Divide and Petross Sidehill down into lush bottomlands like Conrad Meadows and Hussey Meadow. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where the South Fork Tieton River and the Klickitat River find their headwaters among numerous small creeks and springs.

Remote points of interest such as Soda Spring and Cedar Swamp indicate the diverse ecology found at these elevations, while Surprise Lake and Cirque Lake highlight the glacial history of the region. The map captures the quiet character of the wilderness before more modern developments, with only sparse infrastructure such as S Fork Tieton Rd and BIA 287 Rd providing access to these high-country landmarks.
