2011 Map of Whiskey Dick Mountain

About this map

Whiskey Dick Mountain dominates this Kittitas County landscape, where the high terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The map shows the branching headwaters of several major creeks, including the Whiskey Dick Creek, Quilomene Creek, and Skookumchuck Creek. This 2011 survey documents a relatively undeveloped area where small settlements like The Pines and primitive access routes such as Army Rd and Beacon Rd provide the primary infrastructure through the drainages. The naming of features like Little Bohinkleman Creek and Perkins Fork suggests a history of local landholders or pioneers who navigated this high country. The map captures the region before more modern encroachments, preserving the layout of the old cattle or service roads like Perkins Rd that crisscross the forks of the Hunt and Perkins creeks.
