About this map

Okanogan National Forest and the northern reaches of the Colville Indian Reservation define this high-altitude landscape in the early 2000s. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Barnell Meadow Creek and Lost Creek, which feed into the prominent Crawfish Lake. This area was an intersection of natural resources and early industrial exploration, evidenced by several small-scale workings.

Evidence of historical land use is found in the scattered mining sites near the center of the map, specifically the Prospects Mine Shaft and the uniquely named Graphite Tunnel located south of Lost Creek Meadow. These features, along with several Gravel Pit sites, point to a history of geological prospecting within the forest boundaries. The map also traces the Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the jurisdictional division between the national forest and tribal lands.
