2014 Map of King Mountain

About this map

A G Aiken Lava Bed dominates the northwestern portion of this landscape, illustrating the volcanic history of the southern Washington Cascades. The terrain is marked by a sequence of prominent peaks, including King Mtn, Snowplow Mtn, and Snipes Mtn, which define the topography within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This high-altitude region, spanning the border of Yakima and Klickitat counties, shows a complex network of forest development roads such as Nat For Dev Rd 82 and NFD 190 Rd, which provide access to isolated points like Mud Spring. The drainage patterns of Gotchen Cr and Bird Cr cut through a series of volcanic features, including Bunnell Butte and Smith Butte, showing the intersection of geological formations and the timber management infrastructure of the early 21st century.
