2000 Map of Weddle Canyon

About this map

Tieton River drainage defines this portion of the Yakima backcountry at the turn of the millennium, carving a deep corridor through high ridges and state-managed lands. To the north, the Oak Creek State Wildlife Area covers the slopes of Horse Ridge, while the southern reaches are marked by the steep relief of Divide Ridge. Recreation and resource management are the primary human signatures here, from the Rimrock Retreat and Windy Point Campground to several Gravel Pits and a noted Mine near the canyon floor. The map tracks the technical water management of the era, including a flume and a Footbridge crossing near Windy Point. This survey captures the boundary where the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest meets state wildlife tracts, preserving the location of local landmarks like Sentinel Rock and the winding course of Counterfeit Creek.
