2017 Map of Buck Mountain

About this map

Okanogan National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape in the Cascades, characterized by a complex network of forest service and logging routes. The area is defined by significant peaks such as McDaniel Mtn and Beaver Mtn, with Buck Mountain serving as a central geographic anchor. This 2017 survey details the remote Mowich Illahee area, illustrating how historic trails and access roads like Buck Lookout Rd and Loup Loup Canyon Rd navigate the steep drainages of S Fork Salmon Cr and Loup Loup Cr. The distribution of water sources like Spike Spring and the small Rock Lakes indicates the seasonal usage of these highlands for timber management and backcountry navigation.
