2001 Map of Cooper Mountain

About this map

The Methow River corridor serves as the primary artery through this high-elevation landscape, where the Okanogan National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by dramatic relief between the river valley and prominent peaks like Cooper Mountain and Hunter Mountain. The settlement history along the river is anchored by the Methow Cemetery and a solitary Footbridge spanning the water, while the presence of numerous Prospect sites and Prospects across the slopes of Buckhorn Mountain indicates a legacy of resource exploration. Resource management is evident in the Administrative Boundary and the extensive network of drainage systems including Squaw Creek and Black Canyon Creek, which carve deep into the mountainous interior.
