About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape in Yakima County, where the Tieton River carves a path through the canyon floor. The map highlights the engineered infrastructure of the early 1970s, specifically the Yakima Tieton Main Canal and its associated flumes that parallel the riverbed. This irrigation network is a defining element of the valley's development, contrasted by the steep, primitive terrain of Bear Canyon and Hoover Canyon to the north.

Recreational and industrial markers appear along the river corridor, from the Rimrock Retreat settlement to the Campground near Windy Point. For local historians and researchers, the map provides precise locations for a Mine tucked into the slopes of Weddle Canyon Creek and a network of footpaths like the North Fork Trail and McDaniel Trail, which trace the high ridges and Divide between the river and Oak Creek.
