About this map

Piscoe Meadow and the surrounding Yakima County highlands are defined by a complex network of drainage basins and tribal access roads. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by the headwaters of several major forks, including the Middle Fork Ahtanum Creek and South Fork Simcoe Creek. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Rattlesnake Ridge and Red Saddle, which dictate the flow of smaller tributaries such as Kingfish Creek and Wahtum Creek.

Infrastructure is focused on land management and recreation, as evidenced by the Tree Phones Campground in the northwest and the Cowboy Parking Lot situated near Reservation Creek. The presence of Brush Corral suggests historical grazing or livestock activities, while the numerous Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Bia 215 RD and Bia 46 RD, provide a detailed record of the access routes used within this part of the Yakima Indian Reservation.
