2014 Map of Whiskey Dick Mountain

About this map

Whiskey Dick Mtn dominates the high desert terrain of eastern Kittitas County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and springs. The area around The Pines serves as a central point for water sources like Government Springs and Pine Spring, which have long been vital in this arid environment. The map details the complex drainage systems of Quilomene Cr and Skookumchuck Cr, revealing how water shaped the accessibility of the land. Deep cuts such as Black Rock Canyon and Patte Canyon break up the high plateaus, while primitive routes like Army Rd and Beacon Rd suggest the region's history of military and navigational utility. This survey provides a precise look at the localized nomenclature of the Yakima River watershed's uplands, including several uniquely named features like Wild Horse Spring and Dorse Spring.
