1967 Map of Tieton Basin

About this map

Tieton River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, flowing through the central Tieton Basin and carving a path between the prominent heights of Bethel Ridge and Divide Ridge. The area reflects a recreation-heavy landscape managed by the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, featuring a series of riverside stops including Hause Creek Campground and River Bend Campground. To the west, the edge of Rimrock Lake is visible near the settlement of Rimrock, where the Tieton Emergency Airstrip serves as a critical infrastructure point in this mountainous terrain. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive geologic landmarks like Goose Egg Mountain, Kloochman Rock, and the Chimney Peaks, while seasonal meadows like Jumpoff Meadows and Soda Spring Meadow provide level breaks in the steep topography.
