2011 Map of Hoodoo Peak

About this map

Hoodoo Peak and Mission Peak anchor the southern reaches of this mountainous Okanogan County landscape, where the headwaters of several critical drainages originate. The Twisp River cuts through the northern section, fed by a network of tributaries including Buttermilk Creek and Canyon Creek. This terrain is defined by its high ridges and secluded basins, such as Newby Ridge and the Shady Nook Basin, which historically dictated the paths of forest development roads like the E Buttermilk Creek Rd. Recreational and water resources are clustered around Black Pine Lake, where the Blackpine Lake Campground sits near the base of Block Mountain. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the eastern Cascades, tracing the intricate forks of Libby Creek and Buttermilk Creek as they navigate around obstacles like Buttermilk Butte and Scaffold Ridge.
