1951 Map of Sherman Peak

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the high-elevation divide between the Sanpoil and Columbia rivers. The landscape is defined by a dense network of fire lookouts, including Jackknife Mtn, Copper Butte, Graves Mtn, Columbia Mtn, and White Mtn, reflecting the vital forest management and fire prevention infrastructure of the era. The mapping of Sherman Pass and Sherman Creek Pass documents the critical mountain crossings that connect Ferry County's eastern and western reaches.
