1963 Map of Doe Mountain

About this map

The Chewack River carves a deep valley through the high country of the Okanogan National Forest, serving as the primary corridor for movement and recreation in the early 1960s. This survey reveals a landscape managed for both wildlife and forestry, highlighted by the presence of the Methow Game Range and the Eightmile Guard Station. Transportation is defined by a network of primitive roads and trails that connect isolated campgrounds such as Falls Creek Campground and Nice Camp Campground to prominent peaks like Tripod Peak and Farewell Peak. The placement of a Lookout on First Butte underscores the historical importance of fire observation in this timber-rich region. To the south, more open terrain near Lewis Butte and Sullivan Pond shows the transition toward the valley floor, where the environment shifts from dense forest to the rangelands of the Methow Valley.
