About this map

Carlton sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Methow River carves through the Methow Valley. Much of the territory is defined by the steep, rising slopes of the Okanogan National Forest, a terrain marked by deep drainages such as Leecher Canyon and Morse Canyon. The map reveals a transition from the narrow river corridor to high-elevation flats and basins, including Mills Flat and McCall Basin.

Transportation follows the natural breaks in the topography, with Old Carlton Rd and Texas Creek Rd providing access to the interior. Toward the south, the valley widens near the Lightning Pine Recreational Vehicle Park, where McFarland Cr and Petes Cr contribute to the river system. This document records the careful balance of managed forest land and valley floor settlements in the early twenty-first century.
