About this map

The Methow River flows through the northeastern corner of this Washington landscape, providing a vital water source for the Methow Cemetery and surrounding valley. The terrain is defined by high ridges and deep drainages, with Hunter Mountain and Squaw Creek Ridge looming over the seasonal flows of Squaw Creek and Black Canyon Creek. The elevation rises significantly toward the south, reaching its peak at Cooper Mountain and the adjacent Cooper Ridge.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of Forest Service roads like Squaw Creek Rd and Cooper Mountain Rd that navigate the steep slopes. High-elevation water sources such as Cooper Corral Spring point to the area's use for livestock or back-country travel. The dramatic geography of Black Canyon serves as a natural corridor for the Black Canyon Creek, illustrating the erosive power of the region's complex drainage network.
