About this map

Chesaw sits at the heart of this Okanogan County landscape, where the confluence of several mountain drainages defines the local geography. The settlement is positioned near the junction of Myers Creek and Mary Ann Creek, serving as a focal point for a network of rural routes including Chesaw RD and Byers RD. To the north, the terrain rises toward Strawberry Mountain and the mining-associated landmark of Porphyry Peak, while the smaller community of Bolster is situated further east along Bolster RD.

The map reveals a transition from high-elevation peaks to the gentler topography of Hungry Hollow in the southwest. Water resources are plentiful throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the clustered presence of Mary Ann Lake, Strawberry Lake, and Ads Lake. Remote homesteading and land use history are reflected in long-established names such as Turner Homestead RD and the high vantage point at Mountain View, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure in this border-region territory.
