About this map

Silver Mtn Mine and various scattered prospects characterize the mineral-rich highlands of Okanogan County in this 1980 survey. The topography is defined by the significant rise of Aeneas Mtn, where the Aeneas Lookout stands as a sentinel over a landscape of steep ridges and tucked-away water bodies like Lymanasky Lake and Hunter Lake. Evidence of early land division is clear along the Indian Allotment Boundary near the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Water is a vital but concentrated resource, seen in the drainage of Aeneas Creek and the deep incisions of Horse Springs Coulee. To the south, the terrain levels slightly around Flatiron and Carter Mountain, providing space for Turtle Lake and Burden Lake. This map records a rugged region shaped by ranching and mining interests, where seasonal springs and scattered wells provide the necessary moisture for the high-country economy.
