1985 Map of Sitdown Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation and Colville National Forest dominate this northeastern Washington landscape, where the administrative boundary cuts across the high country of Ferry County. Central to the map is the massive profile of Sitdown Mountain, flanked by a network of drainages including Onion Creek, Hall Creek, and Grizzly Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridgelines such as Onion Ridge and Buckhorn Ridge, which provided the framework for early forest service activity and recreation. Public land use is marked by the presence of the Buckhorn Creek Campground and the CCC Campground, the latter reflecting the labor legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Pacific Northwest. Surveyed in the early 1980s, the map documents a transition from the higher peaks like Buckhorn Mtn and Grizzly Mountain down into the narrow, winding creek valleys that defined the area's timber and grazing history.
