About this map

Wenatchee National Forest and the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape along the boundary of Kittitas and Yakima counties. The geography is defined by prominent elevations including Manastash Ridge, Cleman Mountain, and Bald Mountain, punctuated by remote alpine waters like Manastash Lake and Milk Lake.

Historical movement through these peaks is marked by the Naches Pass Trail, a critical corridor for early travel across the Cascades. The map reveals a network of essential water sources for travelers and livestock, such as Cattle Camp Spring, Two Point Spring, and Barber Springs. High plateaus like Rocky Prairie and the landing at Canteen Flats illustrate the distribution of natural clearings amidst the timber and steep drainages of Milk Creek and Yellow Jacket Creek.
