2011 Map of Storm King Mountain

About this map

Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape, where the terrain is dominated by the peaks of Storm King Mountain and Maple Mountain. The map reveals a legacy of resource extraction concentrated in the eastern portion, where Tom Thumb Mine, Knob Hill Mine, and Flag Hill Mine are clustered near the headwaters of regional drainages. The presence of the Day Mine Tailings Pond Dam near Mud Lake underscores the industrial footprint on the local hydrology. A complex network of Forest Service roads, including Storm King Rd and Sheridan Rd, provides access across the rugged topography. Water flows away from these heights via numerous branches of Granite Creek and Cougar Creek, illustrating the watershed's importance to the surrounding valley systems during the early 21st century.
