About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this landscape, where the volcanic history of the South Cascades is visible through the A G Aiken Lava Bed and a series of prominent peaks. Elevations range significantly across the high country, marked by notable features such as Snowplow Mtn, King Mtn, and Smith Butte. Water sources are sparse but critical, including Mud Spring and several drainages like Gotchen Creek and Bird Cr that flow through the timbered terrain.

Transport patterns are shaped by the seasonal environment, featuring specialized winter routes such as the Eagle Xc Loop (Snow) and the Lava Xc Loop (Snow). The boundary between Yakima and Klickitat Counties bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, which also includes access points like BIA Rd 285 and Peters Rd. This map captures a preserved wilderness area defined by its geological formations and recreational forest management.
