2011 Map of Buck Mountain

About this map

Buck Mountain and the surrounding highlands of Okanogan County are defined by a network of forest roads and alpine drainages. The settlement of Mowich Illahee sits near the junction of Sweat Creek and Summit Creek, serving as a central point in a landscape otherwise dedicated to recreation and water management. Early 21st-century infrastructure is visible in the presence of Loup Loup Dam and Beaver Lake Dam, while the State Road Cabin Camp near the South Fork Salmon Creek reflects the area's long-standing role as a base for mountain activities. Multiple campgrounds, including Rock Lakes Campground and Rock Creek Campground, are positioned near Ritchie Ridge and the various forks of Rock Creek, illustrating how the peaks of McDaniel Mountain and Beaver Mountain provide a backdrop for local timber and recreational economies.
