1989 Map of Chiliwist Valley

About this map

Chiliwist Valley serves as a central corridor for rural life in Okanogan County, where ranching and high-elevation terrain define the landscape. This 1980s-era survey documents the established homesteads of Kercheval Ranch and Stout Ranch, alongside the small settlement of Olema. The drainage of Chiliwist Creek and Sullivan Creek carved the valley floors between significant peaks such as Woody Mtn and Cook Mountain. To the west, the boundaries of the Okanogan National Forest border these private holdings, while the south is marked by the winding depths of Rowel Canyon. The presence of several corrals and established ranch names underscores the area's ongoing importance to the regional livestock economy during the late twentieth century.
