2023 Map of Weddle Canyon

About this map

The Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape of high ridges and canyon systems in Washington's Yakima County. The terrain is structured by massive geographic features such as Divide Ridge to the south and Horse Ridge and Bethel Ridge to the north, creating a complex drainage network for waterways like Oak Creek and South Fork Oak Creek. Central to the map's character is the Tieton River, which is paralleled by both the White Pass Highway and the Yakima-Tieton Main Canal. This engineering feat illustrates the critical role of water management in the region's development, as the canal follows the steep contours of the valley near Windy Point and Bear Canyon. Recreational and management access is represented by routes like Cow Canyon Trl and various forest development roads, providing a view of this highland territory in the early 2020s.
