2014 Map of Mazama

About this map

Mazama lies at the junction of the Methow River and Early Winters Cr, serving as a gateway to the high peaks of the Okanogan National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the Methow Valley at a time when the North Cascades Scenic Highway (State Hwy 20) provided the primary artery through this mountainous terrain. The map captures the striking elevation changes between the river valley and prominent landmarks like Goat Wall and Flagg Mtn. Recreational access is highlighted by the Early Winters Campground, while the surrounding landscape is defined by massive peaks including Gardner Mtn and McKinney Mtn. The drainage patterns of Little Boulder Cr and Huckleberry Cr illustrate the complex watershed that feeds the Methow system, showing the geography of the northern Cascades before more recent environmental changes.
