1965 Map of Stagman Butte

About this map

The Yakima Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the sharp high-elevation relief of the eastern Cascades, where the Treaty Boundary and Reservation Boundary delineate the intersection of Yakima and Klickitat counties. This mid-1960s survey documents a network of primitive transportation and forestry infrastructure, most notably the Satus Ranger Station Road and various jeep trails that provided access to fire lookouts and remote camps. Landmark peaks like Stagman Butte, Smith Butte, and the prominent Castle Rock rise above a complex drainage system fed by numerous springs, which nourish Logy Creek and its various forks. The presence of the Satus Ranger Station (Site) and Telephone Camp underscores the area's history as a managed wilderness, while the specialized designation of lakebeds near the reservation line indicates seasonal hydrological shifts in this high-altitude terrain.
