About this map

Silver Mountain Mine anchors the northern high ground of this Okanogan County landscape, sitting just below the summit of Silver Mountain. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages and ridges, where Lemanasky Mountain and the Aeneas Lookout tower over a network of high-elevation lakes and rural road systems. The small settlement of Flatiron serves as a central point for local travel along Flat Iron Rd and Murphy Cutoff.

Water is a prominent feature throughout this arid upland, from the isolated waters of Cayuse Lake and Hunter Lake in the north to the more southern Turtle Lake and Burden Lake. The eastern edge is marked by the distinct geology of Horse Springs Coulee, where Aeneas Lake sits tucked against the base of the surrounding hills. This map illustrates the intersection of mining history, ranching roads, and the natural drainage patterns of Aeneas Creek and the North Fork Pine Creek.
