2020 Map of Crawfish Lake

About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this section of the Washington highlands, where the terrain is defined by a series of high-elevation meadows and remote water sources. At the heart of the area lies Crawfish Lake, a central landmark for those navigating the network of Bureau of Indian Affairs and forest roads. The landscape is dotted with distinct hydrological features like Balanced Rock Spring and the drainage of Swimpkin Cr, which cut through the high country. Historical movement through these hills is suggested by the presence of Stage Coach Trl and Payne Rd, while seasonal grazing or early settlement sites are indicated by Barnell Meadow and Lost Creek Meadow. This modern survey records the ongoing management of tribal and federal lands, highlighting the intersection of natural resources and protected forest boundaries.
