2011 Map of Meeks Table

About this map

Meeks Table and its namesake Meeks Table Natural Area dominate this high-elevation landscape in Yakima County. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Nile Creek flows through the northern reaches while Rattlesnake Creek and its various forks carve through the central and southern sections. This 2011 survey documents a largely roadless area, with only NFD 645 RD providing vehicular access in the northeast. The map provides precise locations for isolated features like Mount Aix Vista and Devils Table, alongside small water bodies such as McDaniel Lake and Angel Lake. Near the southern boundary, the label Grouse Heaven suggests a specific localized place name of interest to those studying the recreational or naming history of this part of the Cascades. The network of seasonal streams like Dry Creek and permanent springs like Rattlesnake Spring highlights the importance of water sources in this high-country environment.
