2014 Map of Copper Butte

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this section of Ferry County, where the high ridges of the Kettle River Range create a drainage divide for several major water systems. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the north-south spine of the territory, passing over notable peaks including Copper Butte, Scar Mtn, and Wapaloosie Mtn. This landscape is defined by its verticality, with steep drainages such as the N Fork Sanpoil River and Sherman Cr cutting through the terrain. Human access is primarily limited to forest corridors like Deadman Creek Rd and the southern passage of State Hwy 20. The map documents the intricate network of peaks and ridges, such as Timber Ridge and Midnight Mtn, that have long dictated movement through this high-altitude wilderness.
