Oak Creek Wildlife Area. The area is located on the east slope of the Cascade Mountains. Elevation varies from a low of 1,650 feet along the Naches River to a high of over 5,200 feet on Bethel Ridge. Topography and vegetation vary considerably over the wildlife area. Many of the open ridges and south slopes support big sagebrush, bitterbrush, and rabbitbrush; whereas the higher elevations and north slopes support Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and white fir. The most prevalent native, perennial grass occurring on most of the area is bluebunch wheatgrass. A large component of Oregon white oak, to which the Wildlife Area owes its name, is found in riparian bottoms and adjacent lower canyons of Oak Creek and the Tieton River
