2011 Map of Sherman Peak

About this map

Sherman Peak and the surrounding high country of the Kettle River Range are defined here by a network of drainage systems and high-altitude lookouts. Elevated vantage points at the Columbia Mountain Lookout and White Mountain Lookout offer a perspective on the complex topography where Sherman Creek and Barnaby Creek originate. The presence of Sherman Pass and its associated Sherman Pass Campground indicates the importance of this high-altitude crossing for transit through the mountain interior. The map documents the intricate creek systems including the South Fork Sherman Creek and the South Fork Barnaby Creek, which carve deep valleys through the terrain. Evidence of seasonal use and forest management is seen in the placement of Snowshoe Camp and various forest roads such as the S Fork Sherman Creek Rd and Cedar Rd. Landforms like Scalawag Ridge and Barnaby Buttes provide significant landmarks for navigation and land use study in this part of Ferry County.
