About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this 1970s landscape, defined by a complex network of high ridges and water-carved valleys. The terrain is anchored by prominent summits such as Timberwolf Mtn, Nelson Butte, and the Rattlesnake Peaks in the southwest. A primitive transportation network consisting of a Jeep Trail, various Pack Trails, and the Nice Trail suggests a wilderness area primarily utilized for forest management and backcountry recreation rather than permanent settlement.

Water sources are plentiful throughout the quadrangle, including high-elevation features like Richmond Lake and Buck Lake. Numerous drainage systems like Dog Creek, Hindoo Creek, and the North Fork Rattlesnake Creek flow through the timbered slopes. Notable landmarks for navigation and local history include Clover Spring, Schneider Springs, and a strategic Lookout point situated centrally between the creek basins, reflecting the area's role in fire observation and livestock grazing history.
