1948 Map of Sherman Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this topographic study of the northeastern Washington highlands, defined by the intricate drainage systems of Sherman Creek and Deadman Creek. The landscape is a network of ridges and peaks, including the prominent Sherman Pk and Copper Butte, where lookouts once monitored the timberlands. Local administrative and utility hubs like the Growden Guard Sta and Snowshoe Camp provided footholds for forest management in the 1940s. The geography is characterized by deep ravines such as Hoodoo Canyon and isolated water bodies like Sherman Lake and Lake Ellen. The survey reveals a terrain shaped by fire lookouts and high mountain passes, notably Sherman Creek Pass, which served as a critical crossing for those traversing the heights between the Curlew and Kettle Falls regions.
