About this map

Copper Butte and the surrounding high country of the Colville National Forest define this corner of Ferry County. The landscape is a network of drainage basins and high summits, including Scar Mtn and Wapaloosie Mtn, carved by watercourses like the North Fork Sanpoil River and Sherman Creek. Modern infrastructure meets historical transit routes here, as the Sherman Pass Scenic Byway winds through the southern terrain while the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl traverses the ridges.

Evidence of the area's development for recreation and resource management is visible through an extensive trail system, including the Old Stage Trl and Midnight Ridge Trl. These paths provide access to landmarks like King Mtn and Timber Ridge, following the natural contours of the Kettle River Range. The map also identifies numerous public land tracts, such as PB 39 and PB 48, which illustrate the complex patchwork of land administration in this portion of Washington.
