2020 Map of Lewis Butte

About this map

Okanogan National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape, where the Chewuch River winds through deep valleys flanked by peaks like Buck Mtn and Paul Mtn. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of forest development roads and ranch access points, including CO Hwy 1251 and Gunn Ranch Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. In the southeastern portion, the Methow Winter Range and Wildlife Refuge indicates the area's importance for local fauna. High-altitude water features such as Buck Lake and Siegels Slough dot the northern reaches, while Lewis Butte stands as a prominent landmark in the south. The abundance of named gulches and seasonal creeks like Eightmile Creek and Pearrygin Cr reveals a landscape defined by its drainage patterns and selective timber and grazing utility.
