About this map

The Chewuch River valley serves as the central artery for this portion of Okanogan National Forest, where steep ridgelines descend toward a complex network of seasonal creeks and gulches. Significant landmarks like Buck Mtn and Paul Mtn define the northern topography, while Lewis Butte stands out to the southwest near Gunn Ranch Rd.

Conservation and land management are prominent here, with the Methow Winter Range and Wildlife Refuge spanning large sections of the eastern slopes. A high density of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 100, suggests a landscape used for both timber management and recreational access. Water features are scattered throughout the highlands and valley floor, ranging from the high-elevation Buck Lake to the Wright Ponds East Pond in the south, reflecting the area's diverse riparian habitats.
