1988 Map of Spiral Butte

About this map

Spiral Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape of the Washington Cascades, where the Lewis Co Yakima Co line bisects the wilderness. The map documents a rugged transition of water and terrain, centered on the William O Douglas Wilderness and Goat Rocks Wilderness. High alpine lakes like the Twin Sisters Lakes and Cramer Lake dot the northern plateaus, while the southern portion is defined by the larger reservoirs of Rimrock Lake and Clear Lake. This late-1980s survey captures the intersection of recreation and resource management, noting established sites such as the Clear Creek Falls Campground and Camp Dudley near the Tieton River. The presence of a Quarry and Gravel Pit near the Wilderness Boundary indicates localized industry alongside the protected lands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest.
