2014 Map of Jungle Butte

About this map

Jungle Butte stands as a prominent elevation in this high-altitude portion of Yakima County, where the topography is defined by the deep incision of the Klickitat River along the eastern edge. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems including Big Muddy Cr, Hellroaring Cr, and Cunningham Cr, which carve through timbered ridges and high points such as Miller Point and Pinegrass Ridge. Access to this remote terrain is provided by a system of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as BIA 271 Rd and BIA 188 Rd, which navigate the steep changes in elevation between the river canyon and the upland peaks. Smaller landmarks like Bup Spring and The Island offer specific points of reference for those studying the hydrography and natural geography of the Yakama Indian Reservation territory as it was mapped in the early 21st century.
