2020 Map of Buckhorn Mountain

About this map

Buckhorn Mtn dominates this section of the Okanogan National Forest, where the high terrain of the Okanogan Highlands is carved by a complex network of canyons and gulches. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, featuring the headwaters of Jackson Cr, Gold Cr, and Bolster Cr as they cut through the steep slopes. While largely a wilderness area, the map reveals a history of land management and access through a spiderweb of named forest roads such as Crystal Butte Rd and Skully Rd. These routes, along with landmarks like Jackson Spring and Westphal Gulch, indicate a legacy of ranching, mining, or timber activity within this northern Washington forest. The detailed topography illustrates the transition from high peaks down into lower drainage basins like Bear Trap Canyon and Bat Canyon.
