About this map

Meeks Table stands as a prominent volcanic plateau within the high country of the Snoqualmie National Forest, marking a landscape defined by deep drainages and sharp ridgelines. This territory is split between protected lands, with the western portion falling under the William O Douglas Wilderness. The terrain is deeply incised by waterway systems such as Nile Creek to the north and Rattlesnake Creek to the south, which have carved significant features like Devils Canyon.

A network of high-elevation routes, including the Bethel Ridge road and the Nile Loop, provides access through this transition of Yakima County. Small alpine water bodies like McDaniel Lake, Angel Lake, and Boundary Lake are found tucked into the folds of the ridges. The map captures the complex topography of Cowpuncher Ridge and Devils Table, illustrating the remote and specialized nomenclature used by early surveyors and foresters in this part of Washington.
