About this map

Camp Chaparral serves as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape within the Yakama Indian Reservation, situated above the winding Klickitat River. The topography is defined by prominent volcanic features like Johns Butte, Jennies Butte, and Windy Point, which rise above a network of drainages including McCreedy Creek and Pearl Creek. The 1906-07 Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through the western edge of the sheet, reflecting early 20th-century land management and tribal sovereignty.

Water sources are numerous across the upland terrain, ranging from Fish Lake in the northwest to Mount Adams Lake and Soda Spring in the south. These features, along with Holdaway Meadow and the surrounding timberland, suggest a landscape utilized for seasonal grazing, traditional tribal activities, and forest management. A simple network of unimproved roads and jeep trails connects these remote sites, following the natural contours and ridges like Potato Hill.
