1968 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

The Yakima and Klickitat county line divides this high-elevation landscape within the Yakima Indian Reservation as it was surveyed in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like Twin Buttes and Klose Butte, which rise above the extensive Cedar Valley floor. A complex network of drainage feeds the region, including White Creek and Schafer Creek, while more isolated water sources like Hop Swamp and Coyote Springs dot the terrain. Human presence is largely represented by infrastructure for natural resource access, such as Cedar Valley Road and the Campbell Line, alongside specialized excavations like the Cinder Pit and multiple gravel pits. The map captures the transition from steep ridges like Peavine Ridge to the high passes at Featherbed Summit, documenting a working forest and tribal landscape.
