1989 Map of Buck Mountain

About this map

Buck Mountain and Beaver Mountain dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Okanogan National Forest as it was surveyed in the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage system where the West Fork Salmon Creek and South Fork Beaver Creek carve through the timbered slopes. High-altitude infrastructure is centered around the Buck Lookout Tower, a critical point for forest management. At lower elevations, the map records recreational and land-use sites including Pixley Sportsman Park and the Rock Creek Campground. The presence of the Beaver Lake Trail and various corrals suggests a mix of back-country recreation and active range management. Notable local nomenclature like Mowich Illahee reflects the regional heritage, while industrial activity is represented by a isolated Gravel Pit near Salmon Creek.
