About this map

Okanogan National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Chewuch River carves a deep north-south valley along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by massive peaks and ridges, including Farewell Peak, Doe Mountain, and Lamb Butte. This area, updated in the early 2000s, shows a wilderness managed for both natural preservation and local resource use, evidenced by the presence of the Methow State Wildlife Area in the south and a Gravel Pit near the river.

Water systems are integral to the geography here, with Eightmile Creek and Doe Creek draining the steep slopes into the primary river valley. Surveyors marked the Ninth Standard Parallel North across the center of this map, a critical reference line for the Public Land Survey System in this part of Washington. Lower elevations near the river include distinct features like Siegel Slough and Lewis Butte, highlighting the transition from the high peaks to the valley floor.
