About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this 1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by its complex drainage systems and high ridges. The Gold Creek network serves as the primary hydrological spine, with branches like the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork cutting deep through the terrain. Evidence of back-country recreation and forest management is present in the established Crater Creek and Foggy Dew campgrounds, along with seasonal locations such as Bear Camp.

On the eastern edge, the topography descends into the Methow Valley, where the Methow River flows south toward the Columbia. The map documents a network of primitive transportation, including various Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that traverse high points like Gold Ridge and Dew Ridge. Small-scale resource extraction is noted by a few scattered prospects and borrow pits near the valley floor, while the peak of Hungry Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in the southern interior.
