About this map

The boundary between Yakima and Klickitat counties cuts through this high-altitude landscape, where several mountain creeks originate. Significant elevations are defined by the peaks of Twin Buttes and Klose Butte, with the latter accessible via Klose Butte Rd. The topography is a complex network of drainages including Summit Cr and White Cr, which carve through the terrain near Cedar Valley.

Remote Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia RD 268 and Bia RD 207 provide the primary access to these slopes and timberlands. The presence of Hog Swamp in the northern section indicates high-elevation basins that collect seasonal runoff. This survey documents the intersection of county lines and tribal land management, showing a region defined by water resources and rugged forest infrastructure.
