2020 Map of Knowlton Knob

About this map

Knowlton Knob rises prominently in this section of the Okanogan National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and vital water sources in an otherwise arid region of Washington. The geography is marked by numerous springs, such as Russian Spring, Kupfer Spring, and Arkansas Spring, which feed into local drainages like French Cr and Swamp Cr. The road network, including Knowlton Knob Rd and Indian Dan Canyon Rd, follows the natural contours of the high country, connecting remote forest reaches with the lower canyons. To the south, Buckhorn Mtn stands as another significant landmark, illustrating the high-altitude terrain that has long served as timber and grazing land. This map reflects the enduring management of public lands and the essential role that named water points and ridges play in navigating the northern Cascades foothills.
