1957 Map of Conconully

About this map

The mountain town of Conconully serves as a central hub in this mid-century survey of Okanogan County, where the transition from high-desert coulees to the timbered peaks of the Okanogan National Forest is clearly defined. The irrigation and water management patterns of the era are visible through the proximity of Conconully Lake and Fish Lake, supporting the ranching and agricultural lands of the lower elevations. Local civic life is anchored by landmarks such as the Beeman School and the Scotch Creek Grange Hall, while the northern reaches reflect a legacy of resource extraction at the Silver Mtn Mine. In the east, the Great Northern railroad follows the Okanogan River through Riverside, connecting this isolated mountain region to broader markets. The preservation of the landscape is noted by the extensive Sinlahekin Game Range, which spans much of the Sinlahekin Creek valley.
