About this map

Conconully sits at the heart of this mid-century Okanogan County landscape, serving as a gateway to the high country of the Okanogan National Forest. The map documents a transition from the structured valley settlements like Riverside along the Okanogan River to the high peaks and plateaus of the Cascades. Notable local landmarks include the Beeman School and the Silver Mts Mine, reflecting the dual legacy of rural education and mountain extraction.

Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Conconully Reservoir and the Sinlahekin Game Range, which follows the north-south corridor of Sinlahekin Creek. The presence of the Great Northern railroad near the river and an old Wagon Road traversing the highlands illustrates the evolution of transport through this complex terrain. From the heights of Lemanasky Mtn to the depths of Graveyard Flat, the map provides a clear record of the area's physical and cultural geography just before the onset of modern development.
