2011 Map of Spiral Butte

About this map

Spiral Butte and the surrounding volcanic terrain of Yakima County define this high-altitude landscape in the southern Washington Cascades. The map details a complex network of alpine water bodies, including the Twin Sisters Lakes and the prominent Rimrock Lake at the southeastern edge. This 2011 survey highlights a region dedicated primarily to seasonal recreation and resource management, evidenced by numerous public facilities such as the Clear Lake North Campground and Clear Lake South Campground. High meadows like Blankenship Meadows and Indian Creek Meadows are interspersed between peaks like Tumac Mountain and Arnesons Peak. Transport and access are centered on the corridors of Indian Creek and Clear Creek, where established points like the Indian Creek Trailhead and Clear Creek Overlook facilitate movement through the backcountry. Significant local landmarks such as Camp Dudley and the Indian Creek Corrals reflect the area's continued use for organized camping and livestock management.
