About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this upland landscape, where the terrain rises toward the heights of Leecher Mountain and Buckhorn Mountain. The map preserves the specific locations of isolated resources essential for high-country life, such as Russian Spring, Bock Spring, and Kupfer Spring, which likely served as critical watering points for early cattle ranching evidenced by the labeled Corral.

Tracing the drainage of French Creek and the marshy reaches of Swamp Creek, the survey reveals historical industrial footprints including a Gravel Pit and the identified location of Gambles Mill (Site). To the south, the Indian Dan State Wildlife Recreation Area borders the higher peaks. Atop Knowlton Knob, a Lookout Tower marks a point of historical fire surveillance over the surrounding ridges and valleys.
