About this map

Okanogan National Forest covers much of this high-elevation terrain, where steep ridges and deep creek drainages define the landscape. A prominent local landmark, the Buck Lookout Tower 6135 stands atop Buck Mountain, overlooking a network of water sources including Spike Spring, Squirrel Spring, and the headwaters of Loup Loup Creek. The map documents a blend of conservation and recreation, evidenced by the Pixley Sportsman Park and campgrounds such as Rock Creek and Rock Lakes.

Evidence of local infrastructure and land use appears through the Beaver Lake Trail and a single Gravel Pit located near Salmon Creek. The presence of Mowich Illahee suggests specific cultural or geographical sites established within the forest boundaries. Hydrological features like McDaniel Creek, Depue Creek, and the South Fork Salmon Creek illustrate the complex drainage patterns that carved the surrounding Rock Ridge.
