2017 Map of Old Scab Mountain

About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where sharp ridges and deep river drainages define the topography of Yakima County. Central to the area is the prominent Old Scab Mountain, flanked by the significant heights of Little Bald Mtn and the long stretch of American Ridge. The drainage pattern is anchored by the American River and Bumping River, which meet near the meadowed expanse of Indian Flat. This 2017 survey details a network of Forest Service development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 1920 and the W Quartz Cr Loop, providing access to remote springs and water bodies. Numerous hydrological features including Soda Springs, Cedar Springs, and the secluded Flat Iron Lake are mapped alongside names that reflect the area's history of logging and recreation, such as Deadhorse Hill and Nile Ridge.
