About this map

Chesaw serves as the primary hub in this Okanogan County highlands landscape just south of the Canada United States border. The map illustrates a region defined by its mining legacy and ranching allotments, with numerous Mines and a Mineshaft scattered near Strawberry Mountain and Porphyry Peak. The small settlement of Bolster (Site) is marked as a site, indicating a shift from a former boomtown to a quieter rural character by the turn of the millennium.

Public lands dominate the terrain, including the Okanogan National Forest and the Chesaw State Wildlife Area. Water resources are abundant but localized, featuring a series of small lakes such as Strawberry Lake, Mary Ann Lake, and Walker Lake. The drainage patterns of Myers Creek and Mary Ann Creek define the valleys between the high peaks of the Buckhorn Mountains and the long expanse of Pontiac Ridge.
