2001 Map of Chiliwist Valley

About this map

Chiliwist Valley provides a detailed look at the drainage systems and remote ranching outposts of Okanogan County at the turn of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of Chiliwist Creek and its tributaries, including Sullivan Creek and Whitestone Canyon Creek, as they carve through the high terrain between Woody Mountain and Cook Mountain. Small settlements and family holdings such as Olema, Kercheval Ranch, and Stout Ranch are established along the valley floor, illustrating the persistent importance of water access in this semi-arid region. Large portions of the area fall under protected management, with the Okanogan National Forest bordering the west and the Chiliwist State Wildlife Area covering much of the eastern slopes, preserving the natural transition from high peaks like Chiliwist Butte to the canyon bottoms.
