About this map

McKinney Creek dominates the drainage patterns of this upland terrain in Okanogan County, carving a long path across the landscape before meeting other tributaries. The area is defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways that move through the high country just south of the international border. In the northern reaches, small bodies of water like Little Fresh Lake and the headwaters of Stanhope Creek provide important landmarks for the local ecology. To the south, Alden Lake sits as a notable geographic marker, while the drainages of Nine Mile Creek and Baker Creek illustrate the natural descent of the watershed. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey utilizes hydrography data to trace the precise flow of these creeks as they weave through private and public lands.
