2017 Map of Signal Peak

About this map

Signal Peak and the high ridges of the Yakima back country dominate this landscape, which is defined by a dense network of Bureau of Indian Affairs access roads. The terrain is deeply incised by the Klickitat River in the northwest and numerous drainages like Surveyors Cr and Trout Cr that carve through the volcanic topography. Local landmarks such as Saxton Rock and the high Pinegrass Ridge overlook a region where land management and natural resource access are the primary human imprints. This environment is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t9n r13e and t8n r13e organizing the vast timber and watershed areas. The presence of Jungle Spring and Cedar Valley indicates the essential role water sources play in navigating these high-elevation forest and rangelands, which are primarily reachable via designated routes like Panther Creek Rd and Pinegrass Ridge Rd.
