About this map

Methow sits at the northeastern edge of this high-elevation terrain, where the Methow River flows south toward its eventual confluence with the Columbia. This 2017 study captures a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the river valley up to prominent peaks like Hunter Mtn and Buckhorn Mtn. The map highlights the intersection of the Okanogan National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest, with the Okanogan Co Chelan Co boundary cutting across the rugged southern slopes.

Evidence of early land management and forestry is visible through a complex network of forest development roads that reach into the high country of Cooper Mountain and Cooper Ridge. Local history is anchored by the Methow Cem near the river, while natural features like Black Canyon and Squaw Creek Ridge dominate the central topography. For those tracking water sources in this arid timberland, several specific points such as Cooper Corral Spring and Gold Spring are meticulously charted among the headwaters of Little Joe Cr and Mitchell Cr.
