1956 Map of Loup Loup

About this map

Olema and the surrounding Chiliwist Valley anchor this mid-century survey of the Okanogan highlands, depicting a landscape defined by seasonal camps and livestock ranching. The map illustrates a network of resource extraction and high-country recreation, most notably the Red Shirt Mine and the Loup Loup Recreation Area. The rugged terrain of the Okanogan National Forest is mapped in detail, revealing the complex drainage systems of Beaver Creek and Salmon Creek that carve through ridges like Ritchie Ridge and Middle Ridge.
