About this map

Yakama Indian Reservation lands and the Goat Rocks Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape at the turn of the millennium. The map illustrates a complex of administrative and historic boundaries, including the (Campbell Line 1906-07), which partitions the forested ridges and alpine meadows. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations ranging from the heights of Jennies Butte and Diamond Butte to the riparian flats of Conrad Meadows and Butte Meadows. These wet meadows, alongside features like Huckleberry Swamp and Teddy Swamp, suggest a landscape shaped by significant seasonal snowmelt and a high water table.

Transportation is limited to specialized routes such as the Indian 4WD track and Jennies Butte Road, underscoring the area's protected and primitive character. Numerous water sources, including the headwaters of the Klickitat River, Soda Spring, and Howard Lake, provide critical reference points for those studying the hydrology and land management history of the Wenatchee and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forests.
