About this map

Okanogan National Forest covers much of this high-country landscape, where the terrain rises toward significant peaks like Burge Mtn and Wilcox Mtn. The 2023 survey illustrates a complex network of forest access roads with evocative names such as Rustlers Hideaway Rd, Six Gun Way, and Bonanza Dr, suggesting the area's historical associations with ranching and resource extraction. Hydrology is central to the map's character, featuring several small mountain basins including Harbor Lake and Green Lake.

The presence of the Pacific Northwest Scenic Trl cutting through the northern reaches near Haley Mtn highlights the region's contemporary role as a recreational corridor. Water management for the surrounding arid valleys is evidenced by Fanchers Dam Reservoir on Antoine Creek. Numerous natural springs, such as Tamarack Spring and Ethel Spring, are carefully documented throughout the canyons, providing vital water sources in this dry Washington interior.
