About this map

Wauconda Summit and the high country of the Okanogan Highlands dominate this 1958 survey, where the administrative boundaries of the Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest meet. The map documents a landscape defined by its mineral history and rugged watershed, with the West Fork Sanpoil River carving through the southern reaches. Local mining activity is preserved in the northeast corner at the Knob Hill Mine, Tom Thumb Mine, and Fray Hill Mine near Granite Creek.

Tracing the early transportation routes of Okanogan County and Ferry County, the sheet highlights the shift between Old Wauconda and newer settlements along the mountain passes. High-altitude landmarks such as Cornell Butte, Fir Mtn, and Storm King Mtn overlook a series of lakes including Swan Lake and Fish Lake. Historic footpaths like the Colville National Forest Trail provide insight into the early forest service infrastructure used for fire lookout access and land management.
