About this map

The Yakima Indian Reservation serves as the backdrop for this 1970 survey, which reveals a landscape deeply defined by historical boundaries and high-elevation hydrology. Notable survey markers like the Campbell Line 1890 and the Pecobe Line (1920-22) cut across the terrain, offering a rare look at how jurisdictional and forestry borders were etched into the land over different decades.

Water management and resource access are central to the area, evidenced by the Hellroaring Ditch and a Diversion Dam along Big Muddy Creek. From the heights of the Mount Adams Wilderness to the prominent Jungle Butte, the map traces a network of remote outposts such as Buck Camp and the Cougar Creek Guard Station. The Klickitat River snakes through the eastern portion, supporting localized sites like the Soda Spring Campground and the Picnic Area near the riverbanks.
