About this map

Okanogan National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in north-central Washington, where the terrain is defined by prominent peaks and narrow canyons. Haley Mountain and Wilcox Mtn anchor the northern reaches, while Burge Mountain stands to the southeast, overlooking the upper end of the Antoine Valley. The distribution of water is a critical characteristic of this environment, as evidenced by a high density of named water sources such as Tamarack Spring, Ethel Spring, and Camp Spring.

Drainages like Mosquito Creek and Whisky Cache Creek feed into the larger Antoine Creek system, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle. Early infrastructure and resource management are visible through markers like Fanchers Dam and several Gravel Pit locations, while a lone Prospect near the northwest corner suggests early interest in the area's mineral potential. Small water bodies, including Oberg Lake and Green Lake, are interspersed among the ridges, providing isolated points of interest for those studying the regional geography.
