About this map

The Klickitat River marks the northwestern corner of this territory within the boundary of the Yakima Indian Reservation, where the terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward the high points of Pinegrass Ridge and Peavine Ridge. Central to the activity on this landscape is Signal Peak, a strategic height featuring a Heliport, a Lookout Tower, and the nearby Signal Peak Ranger Station.

A notable historical marker on this map is the Old Indian Res Bdy (Schwartz Line - 1890), which traces a former 19th-century boundary line across the northern hills. The drainage network is defined by numerous waterways including Surveyors Creek, Pole Creek, and Trout Creek, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and various Jeep Trails suggests the land's utility for forestry and resource management during the early 1970s.
