About this map

The Similkameen River carves a significant path across this northern Okanogan County landscape, winding past Shankers Bend and underneath the slopes of Kruger Mountain. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and deep draws, including the eponymous Bullfrog Mtn and Ellemeham Mtn. These highlands separate the river valley from a series of lakes to the south, most notably Wannacut Lake and the northern tip of Palmer Lake.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement is centered around Golden, located near a small Cem and Spring Lake. Modern recreation and access are facilitated by the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl and a network of rural routes such as Loomis Oroville Rd and Wannacut Lake Rd. The map illustrates a high-desert environment where water remains the primary driver of both historical habitation and modern infrastructure.
