About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this mid-1980s landscape, where the confluence of the White River and Greenwater River marks the northern boundary between King and Pierce counties. The map details a high-elevation backcountry infrastructure centered around the White River valley, featuring The Dalles Campground and the specialized Ranger Creek Landing Strip. To the west, Huckleberry Ridge and the summit of Sun Top rise sharply, the latter distinguished by the Sun Top LO lookout station.

Transport and recreation patterns of the era are visible through the network of drainage-based trails and small alpine water bodies like Dalles Lakes and Twentymile Lake. The presence of several Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits near the riverbanks suggests ongoing forest road maintenance or localized construction projects during this period. Notable landmarks such as the Corral near Deep Creek and the Footbridge over the river reflect a landscape managed for both timber access and wilderness recreation.
