2017 Map of King Mountain

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of this southern Washington region, where volcanic geology is the defining characteristic of the terrain. The northern reaches are marked by the A G Aiken Lava Bed, a significant geological feature near Snipes Mtn and Snowplow Mtn. The quadrangle spans the border of Yakima and Klickitat counties, showing a network of specialized forestry roads like Nat For Dev RD 82 and Nat For Dev RD 150 that navigate between prominent peaks such as Bunnell Butte and King Mountain. To the south, the landscape transitions towards the more accessible areas of Meadow Butte and the headwaters of Bird Cr, illustrating the rugged, high-elevation road systems utilized for modern forest management and resource access.
