2002 Map of Mazama

About this map

Mazama serves as the focal point of this high-country landscape, positioned along the banks of the Methow River where it meets Early Winters Creek. The map documents the northern reaches of the Okanogan National Forest, transitioning into the protected Lake Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness to the south. Notable elevations like McKinney Mountain, Flagg Mountain, and Storey Peak define the horizon, while the dramatic Goat Wall rises above the valley floor. Evidence of the area's resource history appears through scattered Prospect and Adit markings near Spokane Gulch. The North Cascades Scenic Highway winds through the valley, providing the primary access corridor for this alpine environment, while numerous drainages such as Boulder Creek and Wolf Creek feed the central river system from the surrounding ridges.
