1971 Map of Meeks Table

About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this 1971 landscape, a high-country terrain defined by prominent flat-topped landmarks and a dense network of watercourses. The prominent namesake, Meeks Table, sits in the west, while its counterpart, Devils Table, rises to the east above the deep cut of Devils Canyon. The drainage pattern is complex, with Nile Creek and its branches flowing east toward the Naches River valley, and Rattlesnake Creek carving through the center of the sheet. Isolated mountain waters like McDaniel Lake, Angel Lake, and Boundary Lake dot the higher elevations near Bethel Ridge. These features indicate a landscape managed for wilderness and forestry, accessible primarily by a system of Pack Trails and primitive Jeep Trails that traverse Cowpuncher Ridge and the surrounding peaks.
