2002 Map of Gilbert

About this map

Gilbert and the upper reaches of the North Fork Twisp River are the central focus of this high-elevation mountain study. The settlement at Gilbert serves as a remote terminus for the Winthrop RD and Twisp RD, marking a transition from accessible valley roads to the protected wilderness. Mining history is evident across the slopes, with the Crescent Mine and various Mines and Prospects scattered near the headwaters of the Twisp River forks. This area is defined by its drainage systems, including South Creek, Louis Creek, and Williams Creek, which flow from the dramatic heights of the Sawtooth Ridge. High-altitude water bodies such as Louis Lake, North Lake, and Scatter Lake are tucked beneath peaks like Abernathy Peak and Reynolds Peak, illustrating the glacier-carved character of the Okanogan National Forest.
