1971 Map of King Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the Yakima Indian Reservation meet across this mountainous terrain, marked by a complex series of volcanic peaks and geological formations. The Aiken Lava Bed dominates the northwestern corner, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding forested ridges. This 1971 survey captures the area's utility and recreation, showing the Gotchen Creek Guard Station and Island Campground tucked among the drainages of Gotchen Creek and Bird Creek. The landscape is a network of ridges and high points, including King Mountain, Snipes Mountain, and Snowplow Mountain. Evidence of resource extraction appears in scattered excavations such as the Gravel Pit, Borrow Pit, and Cinder Pit, while a system of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides access through the high country.
