About this map

Piscoe Meadow and the surrounding high country of Yakima County are defined by a complex network of ridgelines and seasonal drainages within the eastern reaches of the Snoqualmie National Forest. The landscape is dominated by prominent geographic features such as Sedge Ridge, Ahtanum Ridge, and Rattlesnake Ridge, which channel numerous waterways including the Middle Fork Ahtanum Cr and the N-Fork Simcoe Cr.

Evidence of historical land management and transit is visible through the system of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia 4 RD and Bia 16 RD, which navigate the steep elevations of Soda Springs Canyon and Old Maid Canyon. Small clearings and landmarks like Brush Corral and Red Saddle provide specific points of reference for researchers tracing the development of forest service and tribal infrastructure in this mountainous terrain during the early 21st century.
