About this map

Copper Butte and Wapaloosie Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in the northeastern reaches of Ferry County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain peaks and water drainages, where the North Fork Sanpoil River and North Fork Sherman Creek begin their descent through the highlands. Transportation in this area is limited to forest-access routes like Deadman Creek Rd and Albin Hill Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to timber and resource management rather than permanent settlement.

Prominent landmarks such as Midnight Mountain, Scar Mountain, and Albian Hill provide essential reference points for navigating the complex topography. The map detail highlights the hydrological importance of the region, showing numerous small tributaries like U S Creek and Mick Creek that feed into larger valley systems. This 2011 survey serves as a precise record of the remote trail and road networks used by forestry workers and hikers before further environmental shifts or road decommissioning occurred.
