1953 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation encompasses much of this mid-century landscape, where high peaks and deep creek drainages define the border between Okanogan and Ferry counties. The topography is dominated by massive summits such as Strawberry Mtn and Bald Knob, while the Sanpoil River and Nespelem River carve through the forested terrain. This era of land management is evidenced by the established Lookout Trail and Lyman Creek Trail, which provided essential access through the Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest.
