1951 Map of Sherman Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by fire lookouts and timber management. High-elevation vantage points including Copper Butte Lookout, Columbia Mtn Lookout, and Jackknife Mtn Lookout are situated across the peaks to monitor the dense drainage basins of Deadman Creek and Sherman Creek. This 1951 edition captures the remote infrastructure of the era, such as the Growden Guard Sta near Sherman Lake and the Snowshoe Camp located along the South Fork Sherman Creek. Steep ridges and canyons like Hoodoo Canyon create a complex geography where travel was largely restricted to mountain passes, most notably at Sherman Creek Pass. The map serves as a detailed record of Forest Service operations before modern road expansions significantly altered the backcountry access patterns.
