1968 Map of Methow
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Methow River carves a winding path through this portion of the Okanogan National Forest, defining the geography of the valley floor and its surrounding plateaus. In the late 1960s, the small settlements of Carlton and Methow served as the primary hubs in this reach of the river. The landscape is marked by distinct alluvial benches including Morse Flat, Mills Flat, and Cumbo Flat, which provided relatively level ground above the river channel. Higher elevations reveal a network of resource-driven activity, indicated by a Mine and Prospect tucked into the drainages of Texas Creek and Leecher Canyon. For those tracing historical land use, the map documents a system of remote infrastructure including a Footbridge over the main river and several named high-country features like McCall Basin and Vinegar Lake.
