2001 Map of Burge Mountain

About this map

Burge Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Okanogan National Forest dominate this landscape as it was documented at the opening of the millennium. The survey captures a high-elevation environment defined by its water sources, from naming numerous natural springs like Tamarack Spring, Saddle Spring, and Twin Springs to the drainage systems of Antoine Creek and Whisky Cache Creek. Small bodies of water, including Oberg Lake, Harbor Lake, and the remote Green Lake, are scattered across the terrain. Human modification of the landscape is subtle but present, marked by Lanchers Dam and a Gravel Pit, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the broader Antoine Valley. This document provides a record of the forest's topographic character and resource locations during a period of modern US Forest Service management.
