1989 Map of Strawberry Mountain

About this map

Colville Indian Reservation lands meet the Okanogan National Forest in this high-elevation wilderness corner of Washington. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of Strawberry Mtn and Dugout Mtn, creating a complex network of drainage basins. Numerous watercourses, including the W Fk Sanpoil R and Strawberry Creek, carve through the terrain, indicating a landscape dominated by natural watershed boundaries rather than human settlement. The survey illustrates the intersection of federal and tribal jurisdictions, marked by the National Indian Forest Reservation Boundary. While primarily forested and undeveloped, the network of unimproved roads and trails provides access to the interior, tracing paths along Gold Creek and Stepstone Creek that speak to the area's use for resource management and backcountry navigation in the late twentieth century.
