2017 Map of Raven Roost

About this map

The Snoqualmie National Forest high country, where the boundaries of Kittitas and Yakima counties meet, is dominated by the steep drainage systems of the Little Naches River. This 2017 survey shows a landscape primarily shaped by timber management and high-elevation hydrology, including the N Fork Little Naches River, Middle Fork Little Naches River, and S Fork Little Naches River. Cultural footprints are restricted to specialized infrastructure, such as the Pipeline corridor in the south and a network of forest service access routes like Nat For Dev Rd 1902. Distinctive topographical markers like the summit of Raven Roost and the crossing at 4WD Naches Pass highlight the area's role as a transit point through the Cascades. Other landmarks such as Louisiana Saddle and Timothy Meadow provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use or recreational paths like Legos Trail.
