1967 Map of Tieton Basin

About this map

Bethel Ridge and Divide Ridge frame the high-elevation terrain of the Tieton Basin in this late-1960s survey of the Snoqualmie National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Tieton River, which is supported by a network of seasonal camps including Wild Rose Campground and Hause Creek Campground. A Ranger Station and a Gaging Station monitor the river's flow near the eastern boundary, while the Tieton Emergency Airstrip provides a critical landing point in the valley floor near Rimrock Lake. High points such as Goose Egg Mountain and Kloochman Rock serve as major landmarks for navigation along the Rattlesnake Trail and various unnamed jeep tracks. The presence of the Jumpoff Lookout overlooking Jumpoff Meadows illustrates the era's active fire observation network in the central Cascades.
