2020 Map of Whiskey Dick Mountain

About this map

Whiskey Dick Mtn dominates this Kittitas County landscape, serving as a high-altitude focal point for a complex network of seasonal water sources and canyons. The presence of numerous named springs, including Government Springs, Skookumchuck Heights Spring, and Wild Horse Spring, suggests a territory where water management and natural forage were critical to historical land use. This high-desert drainage pattern is defined by the convergence of several major creek systems such as Skookumchuck Cr, Quilomene Cr, and Whiskey Dick Cr, which have carved deep features like Black Rock Canyon and Patte Canyon. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with clear township and range boundaries such as t19n r21e and t18n r22e delineating the remote terrain.
