About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this mid-1980s terrain in Ferry County, where the landscape is defined by the high elevations of South Huckleberry Mtn and the long, sloping contours of Scalawag Ridge. The area serves as a significant drainage basin for several streams, most notably Sherman Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Milk Creek and Hart Creek. The presence of the Sherman Creek State Wildlife Rec Area indicates a focus on conservation and managed wilderness during this period.

Evidence of human activity is primarily limited to resource extraction and recreation, marked by a Borrow Pit and the secluded Sherman Lake. Further south, the map details the origins of Cottonwood Creek and Doukhobor Creek as they descend from Cedar Ridge and Dollar Mtn. The detailed hydrography, including Lake Ellen in the southeast corner, highlights the water-rich nature of this corner of Washington's northeastern highlands.
