1971 Map of Timberwolf Mtn

About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing a high-elevation backcountry accessible primarily by a network of pack trails and early jeep trails. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the North Fork Nelson Creek and Rattlesnake Creek carve through steep terrain toward the Yakima drainage. High points such as Timberwolf Mtn and Nelson Butte anchor the survey, while the presence of Lookout stations at peaks like 6391 suggests the area's importance for fire observation and forest management. Small water bodies like Richmond Lake and Buck Lake sit nestled in high basins, and named water sources like Clover Spring and Schneider Springs provide critical waypoints for those navigating the ridge lines. This 1970s topography provides a clear view of the primitive road and trail infrastructure that existed before later modernizations altered the forest access.
