1965 Map of Poisel Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Yakima Indian Reservation dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the high ridges of the Horse Heaven Hills rise above the drainage systems of Satus Creek and Mule Creek. This area is marked by a network of specialized routes like Poisel Butte Road, So Happy Road, and Wasteland Road, reflecting the management of this upland territory. The placement of Smina Cem, Meninick Cem, and Oheppennee Cem provides specific points for genealogical study within the reservation boundaries. Smaller outposts like Sampson Cabin and Wandlings Lower Camp suggest a seasonal or ranching presence among the canyons. The varied terrain is further defined by geologic features such as Poisel Butte and the deep cut of Island Canyon, while numerous water sources like Lucy Spring and Pine Springs supported movement through these dry hills.
