About this map

Okanogan National Forest defines the geography of this northern Washington landscape, where high peaks and seasonal water sources dictate the pattern of settlement. In the southern half of the quadrangle, Antoine Valley provides relatively level ground for ranching and homesteads, connected by rural routes like Havillah Rd. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from these valley lowlands to the higher elevations of Burge Mtn and Haley Mtn.

The importance of water management in this arid timberland is evident in the presence of Fancher Dam Reservoir and the naming of vital landmarks like Tamarack Spring, Wildhorse Spring, and Box Springs. Recreation is a primary land use across the rugged terrain, highlighted by the northern stretch of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it traverses the slopes of Wilcox Mtn and Haley Canyon. Small water bodies like Oberg Lake and Green Lake serve as key points of interest in a network of forest service and local roads including Swanson Mill Rd and Overland Rd N.
