About this map

The North Fork Teanaway River defines the western drainage of this landscape, where the settlement of Ryepatch and sites like Twentynine Pines Campground are situated along the valley floor. To the east, the topography rises sharply toward Teanaway Ridge, anchored by the high point at Red Top Mountain. This area is characterized by a high concentration of recreational and observation points, including the Red Top Mountain Lookout and the Stafford Lookout further north.

A network of forest roads such as NFD 9738 RD and NFD 115 RD provide access to numerous tributaries including Jack Creek, Indian Creek, and Dickey Creek. The presence of the Red Top Agate Beds near the ridge highlights the unique geological interest of this portion of Kittitas County, while the Stafford Creek Recreation Area underscores the region's transition from early lookout stations to contemporary outdoor management.
