About this map

Simcoe Mountains terrain dominates this 1983 survey, where high ridges and deep canyons define the landscape of south-central Washington. The northern portion of the sheet is occupied by the Yakima Indian Reservation, marked by the prominent Bickleton Ridge and the Lookout House landmark. The mapping reveals a sparse network of high-altitude landmarks, including Lone Pine Butte and Tumwater Butte, which likely served as critical orientation points for range management and forestry in this period.

Water sources are the primary evidence of human activity and land use here, with numerous named springs such as Tumwater Corral Spring, Beeks Spring, and Stump Spring punctuating the drainages of Rock Creek and Quartz Creek. The mention of the Holderman Camp (Site) provides a specific point of interest for local historians, indicating a former habitation or seasonal camp location that had already transitioned to a historical site by the early 1980s.
