2011 Map of Gilbert

About this map

Gilbert sits at the junction of mountain drainages where the Twisp River begins its eastward descent. This high-elevation terrain is defined by its recreation and resource history, centered around the Nat Forest Rd 4440 corridor. The presence of the Crescent Mine near Crescent Lake points to the area's prospecting past, while the numerous access points like the Gilbert Trailhead and Twisp River Trailhead reflect its modern character as a gateway for backcountry exploration. High summits including Abernathy Peak, Gilbert Mountain, and Reynolds Peak ring the basin, feeding a network of alpine waters such as North Lake, Scatter Lake, and Louis Lake. The landscape transition from the narrow valley floor to these prominent peaks is sharp, with glacial lakes and creeks like South Creek and Wolf Creek carving through the surrounding high country.
