About this map

The Tieton River flows through the heart of this landscape in Yakima County, where the transition from high ridgelines to the water's edge defines the local geography. Significant topographical landmarks like Kloochman Rock, Goose Egg Mtn, and the Chimney Peaks overlook a network of meadows and seasonal water sources. The map highlights the localized settlement of Rimrock and the nearby Tieton Basin, indicating a region shaped by both its natural hydrology and modern infrastructure.

Access to this corner of the Snoqualmie National Forest is facilitated by a dense system of Forest Service roads and the Tieton State Airport, positioned near the river. High-elevation features like Bethel Ridge and Horse Ridge provide a clear view of the drainage patterns for Oak Creek and Soup Creek. The area's reliance on managed land and water is evident in the naming of sites such as Soda Spring Meadow and Jumpoff Meadows.
